I am an active runner, father, husband and coach who cares about his community. For me that means elevating sports and health in my surroundings. I have always been centred around sports and movement and coming originally from Iceland, we had a variety of sports depending on the season. Now living in the Canary Islands, I experience firsthand how it is to train on the trails all year around in a fantastic climate.
My coaching philosophy builds on 2 main ideas.
1. If you are not testing, you are guessing. Stop guessing and start measuring. Training must be driven by objective data as well as subjective data. I use biomechanical tests to identify specific weaknesses, asymmetries and injury risks to adapt your training focus to your specific profile. Each person is unique!
2. Minimal effective dose. Knowing runners and being one myself. I know that most just want to focus on being out on the road or the trails. Which is why I programme strength as a complementary work to make sure that you can run pain free and strong.
