About Chiara

Sport has been part of my life since childhood. Eight years ago, I started my running journey and quickly moved into ultrarunning — even before completing a marathon.
Training without a proper structure in the first years led to minor injuries and mental stress which helped me understand the importance of training science. That experience pushed me to study endurance training more deeply and ultimately to become certified through UESCA.
Today, I combine personal experience with science-based principles to train smarter, stay healthy, and keep progressing in the sport I love.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching is science-based, individualized, and built around the reality of your life.
I believe training should be methodical, progressive, and sustainable. A well-designed plan reduces injury risk, builds long-term durability, and supports both physical and psychological resilience.
Every athlete I work with receives a plan tailored not only to their goals, but also to their lifestyle, training preferences, and personal strengths and weaknesses.
Just as important as the plan itself is the relationship behind it - I see coaching as a two-way partnership built over time. Open communication, regular feedback, and honest conversations are essential. Training is not something imposed — it’s something we build together.
