About Deniz

I started running in 2012 after years of playing basketball and exploring other sports. Since then, I’ve completed countless half marathons, three marathons (Nicosia, Lisbon, Berlin), and multiple triathlons, including 8 Half Ironmans.
I’m the co-founder of 568 Endurance, a Cyprus-based running crew organizing free weekly park runs and cheer zones during races. I also co-founded 568 Coaching, where I guide athletes with a science-informed approach, shaped by my background in mechanical engineering and passion for endurance sports.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe in a coaching approach that blends science, experience, and empathy. With a background in mechanical engineering and a passion for endurance sports, I take a data-driven yet highly personal approach to training. Every athlete is unique, so I prioritize communication, proper progression, and regular feedback. Whether you're preparing for your first 5K or aiming for a marathon PB, I focus on building long-term success through consistency, patience, and discipline. I’m also deeply interested in the psychological and philosophical sides of running—how it shapes mindset, builds resilience, and fosters community. I aim to create a supportive space where athletes not only train smarter but also grow in confidence and joy through the process.
