About Yiannis

I’ve spent my life pushing physical limits from the precision of a Sub-3 marathon to the 25-hour grit of a 100-mile mountain race. My background in martial arts taught me the discipline needed to endure when things get tough. Holding dual certifications from UESCA and NAASFP, I combine elite experience with deep physiological knowledge to build athletes who are fast, strong, and injury-free.

Coaching Philosophy

Train with Purpose. I don’t believe in "junk miles" or generic plans.
We use your data to make every workout count, whether we're targeting road speed or mountain endurance.
A healthy runner is a consistent runner. I focus on structural strength to keep you on the road and off the sidelines.
I teach you how to master everything from pacing and nutrition to the mental toughness required for the longest days.
I build plans that work for you, so you can show up at the start line confident and ready.
