About Nikolaos

Sports and coaching are integral parts of who I am. Alongside my professional background in chemistry, I have dedicated myself to the world of endurance sports, combining both science and practice. I train and compete in marathons and cycling events, while also mentoring athletes through my team, Consistent Runners. My approach is not only about training but also about building confidence, discipline, and enjoyment in the process.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built around the belief that consistency and balance lead to long-term success. Every athlete is unique, so I design training plans that respect individual goals, fitness levels, and lifestyle. I emphasize gradual progression, evidence-based methods, and clear communication to support athletes in their journey. Whether preparing for a first race or chasing a personal best, my role is to provide structure, motivation, and knowledge so that athletes feel supported and empowered. Ultimately, I see coaching as a partnership where growth happens step by step, with patience, commitment, and trust.
