Running has been a part of his life for over 20 years. A self-taught runner, he had never followed a structured and personalized plan before. He always had big doubts about the relevance of his training. It’s been 10 years since he switched to trail running. Over the years, Christian has identified things that work well for him and others that don’t, leaving a huge room for improvement that he has only managed to tap into with RunMotion Coach. Last August, he completed the UTMB® Mont-Blanc with a RunMotion Coach preparation.
How did your UTMB® finisher goal go?
« During the race, the sensations were very good. For the first time in my life, I progressed in the rankings with each climb. The noticeable improvement in my endurance allowed me to maintain this feeling until the finish line and to have a recovery like never before. »
How did you manage your UTMB® preparation?
« I spent 7 months preparing for the UTMB®. I started with 4 days a week. After the first 2 months (the test phase), I increased my availability on the application to 7 days a week. »
What motivates you to run?
« As a trail runner, I have in my DNA a taste for challenge and self-improvement. For me, running is a wonderful activity, and having the opportunity to practice it in the mountains is a privilege. »
How did you discover the RunMotion Coach application?
« I discovered the RunMotion Coach application via the UTMB® website. The availability of specific training for trail running and the customization options are what prompted me to try the application. »
What do you prefer in the application?
« As with most people, the time I have available to train is very limited. The ability to plan weeks one by one without missing key training sessions is extremely valuable. »
What is your next sporting challenge?
« My next major event is the Trans Vulcania, on the island of La Palma, recently postponed to May 2022 due to the volcanic eruption. »
