About Illia

Apart from my passion for endurance sports, I hold an MSc in Systems Analysis, Management and Information Processing and have over 10 years of experience as a Big Data Engineer, so I do know how to work with data.

As an athlete myself, I've got several top-10 finishes at the OCR World Championships, won multiple HYROX races as part of a relay team, and got victories in several trail running and OCR events.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe in consistent, evidence-based, highly personalized training supported by continuous feedback.

There are no universal training plans that work for everyone. Every athlete has different goals, strengths, weaknesses, training history and lifestyle. That's why I adapt every program to the individual.

I also believe that consistency is the biggest driver of long-term progress. A training plan should not only challenge you, but it should also be realistic and sustainable.

Finally, coaching is a two-way process. Regular feedback and training data help us evaluate what's working, make adjustments and keep you progressing toward your goals.
