UESCA-Certified Ultra & Trail Running Coach | TrainingPeaks Level 1 | Founder of Mindful Runner

I coach from Africa’s most demanding trails, mountains, heat, altitude, and solitude where endurance isn’t theory, it’s lived. Over 20 years, I’ve helped athletes across five continents reach personal bests and podiums at some of the world’s most challenging trail and ultra races, including multiple MUT by UTMB 100-mile winners.

My philosophy is simple: train with intent, race with calm, perform with purpose.

Every program blends:

  • Science-based structure: Threshold testing, INSCYD analysis, Stryd power, and TrainingPeaks Premium metrics.
  • Real-world trail skill: Strength, mobility, and technical terrain work that builds efficiency and confidence.
  • Mindful performance: The ability to stay present and execute under pressure — where calm equals control.

You’ll train with a system refined in Africa’s mountains and proven on global podiums, tough, intelligent, and sustainable.
If you’re preparing for MUT by UTMB, UTMB Mont Blanc, Lavaredo, or any long mountain ultra, we’ll build the resilience, precision, and presence to get you there.

Africa’s trails taught us endurance. Now we teach it to the world.
