I signed up for my first trail race without ever having run a mile. Less than 30 days after that decision, I found myself at the starting line with zero experience. By mile 12, I was done—cramps, dizziness, dehydration—but I finished and fell in love with the sport. In under 24 months, I ran my first 110km, 220km in the desert, and took part in amazing races in the Alps like the Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120k. I've run pilgrim trails and I've been coached by professional ultra runners and I share my love for the sport on Youtube, because I believe ultratrail is a way of life and not just a sport.
I believe that a coach is not just someone who creates training plans, but a guide who helps their athlete become the best version of themselves, overcome challenges and fears, and reach the finish line in the best way possible. I want to see the athletes I coach compete at their best and with a smile, happy to have accomplished what they thought was impossible, whether it’s finishing a race or improving their personal best.
Living in Italy, I have participated in and continue to take part in the most beautiful, challenging, and thrilling races in the Alps, and I can provide valuable insights to athletes who want to tackle these events.
