Welcome to My Substack: A Journey Through Running, Coaching, and Resilience

Beginnings, much like starting a long-distance race, can be challenging. But every race starts with a single step, and this Substack is mine.

I'm excited to share insights from my life as a professional trail runner and coach, and I hope this space will become a source of inspiration, learning, and connection for everyone who subscribes.

Why This, Why Now?

This Substack is born out of a deep passion for both running and personal growth. Over the years, I’ve learned that the lessons from ultra-endurance events—like mental toughness, resilience, and perseverance—aren't just for the trail. They are the same skills that help us tackle daily life, overcome obstacles, and achieve our goals. After countless races, travels, and coaching experiences, I realized I wanted to share these lessons with a wider community. Now feels like the perfect time to build a space where I can connect with fellow runners, athletes, and anyone interested in pushing their limits.

What Kind of Community Am I Building?

This isn't just a newsletter—it's a community of like-minded people who are passionate about self-improvement and adventure. Whether you’re an ultra runner looking to improve your performance, or someone seeking strategies for resilience and mental toughness in everyday life, I hope you'll feel at home here. Expect a space where we can share experiences, insights, and stories, and where you’ll be encouraged to keep pushing forward—on the trail, in your training, and in life.

What Can You Expect?

This Substack will cover a wide range of topics that align with my passions and expertise:

• Coaching and Running Tips: Practical advice for endurance athletes, whether you're just getting started or are preparing for your next ultra.

• Mental Toughness & Resilience: Strategies for building mental strength that apply not only to running but to handling life's challenges.

• Storytelling from Races & Travels: Behind-the-scenes stories from my races and travels around the world, sharing both the triumphs and the tough moments.

I plan to post weekly with a mix of training tips, personal reflections, and stories from the trail. If you want more exclusive coaching advice, deeper dives into specific topics, and Q&A sessions, head over to my website and send me an email where I’ll answer your burning questions.

I’m excited to have you here—let’s get started!
