I work best with:

• Road runners transitioning into trail running
• Athletes preparing for their first trail race or ultra (50K–100K)
• Runners targeting mountainous or technical races
• Busy professionals who need flexible, efficient training

As a certified endurance nutrition coach, I also help athletes optimize their fueling for training and racing.

I have a particular interest in plant-based nutrition and can support athletes who want to fuel their performance while following a plant-based lifestyle.

If you’re ready to move from road to trail or take on your first ultra, I’d love to help you get there. Let’s connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Consistency beats perfection. Smart, specific training over time leads to strong, confident trail runners.

My coaching is personalized, structured, and adapted to your lifestyle. I focus on building strong, resilient runners who can handle the demands of trail running—not just complete the distance, but enjoy the process.

Key elements of my approach:

• Terrain-specific training (elevation, trails, technical skills)
• Smart endurance progression (quality over just more mileage)
• Strength and durability to prevent injury
• Race-specific preparation and pacing strategies
• Ongoing communication and support

I combine real-world trail and ultra racing experience with structured coaching and a supportive approach.

You won’t just get a training plan—you’ll get guidance, feedback, and a coach who understands the realities of balancing training with work and life.

I work with a limited number of athletes to ensure each person gets the attention need.

I’m a UESCA-certified Ultrarunning Coach and Endurance Nutrition Coach with a passion for helping runners move beyond the road and into trail and ultra distances.

I’ve raced extensively on technical terrain across Europe and South America, including events like UTMB OCC (55km, 3,500m+) and Transgrancanaria Classic (126km, 6,000m+). I’ve also set multiple Fastest Known Times (FKTs) in Belgium and abroad.

Through my own experience, I understand the physical and mental demands of trail running—from long climbs and technical descents to fueling and pacing over many hours.

My goal is to help you train smart, stay injury-free, and feel confident on race day—whether it’s your first trail race or your first ultra.
