About Your Ultra Running Coach.

I am probably most known for having won the gruelling 250km Marathon des Sables in the Sahara twice. Since I started running ultra-marathons in 2011 I have run in extreme environments all over the world, from hot arid deserts, via dense humid rainforests and to the thin air of the Himalayas. Now, as a coach, I focus on coaching runners of all abilities to reach their dreams and goals, and I also do life coaching.  I look at life as a never ending opportunity for growth and learning and I continuously invest in my own personal and professional growth.
