As a certified running coach and a passionate runner myself, I've been on an incredible journey for the past 39 years. With 17 marathons under my belt, including five of the prestigious Marathon Majors, running has become an integral part of my life. I love running on different surfaces and terrains, in every type of weather, and I know coaching an athlete for a trail run on the Caldeira on the Azores Island Faial, for a marathon challenge through the Muir Woods near San Francisco or for a marathon on the wide streets of Tokyo has many specific details and nuances.

My mission is to empower runners of all levels to reach their full potential, achieve their goals, and lead healthy, balanced lives through personalized coaching, expert guidance, and a supportive community

I am committed to contribute to the global running movement by helping you, regardless of your background or ability, to experience the transformative power of running through my comprehensive coaching programs, cutting-edge training methodologies, and a vibrant online platform that fosters connection, education, and inspiration.

I take a holistic approach to coaching, by combining philosophical insights, pedagogical principles, and an understanding of brain health. In my work I focus not only on physical fitness but also on cultivating mental toughness and empowering athletes to educate themselves about vital elements of their health and overall well-being.
