About Rodrigue

I discovered trail running at the age of 14 and quickly fell in love with the challenge of technical terrain and long distances. Since then, in contrast to my young age I’ve competed in over 50 races internationally at a high level and have earned sponsorships from brands. My competitive racing schedule keeps me deeply connected to the demands of training, racing, and recovery that every trail runner faces.

Coaching Philosophy

My perspective as a young coach and current competitive athlete is my greatest strength. I bring fresh, current knowledge of the latest training science, nutrition, and recovery techniques; methods I actively use and refine myself. I understand the modern balance of sport, work, and life because I’m living it now. My energy is fuelled by a deep, current passion for the sport, and my coaching is driven by a relatable, empathetic approach. I’m not just teaching theory; I’m sharing what is proven, effective, and motivating in real time, ensuring your training is both contemporary and deeply connected to the joy of running.
My own training is ongoing, and so is my learning. I’m actively preparing for start lines myself, season after season. This first hand, in-the-trenches experience means the guidance I provide isn't just textbook knowledge; it’s practical, battle-tested strategy.
