Running has been a part of his life for over 20 years. A self-taught runner, he had never followed a structured and personalized training plan before. He always had big doubts about the relevance of his training. Ten years ago, he switched to trail running. Over the years, Christian identified things that work well for him and others that don’t, leaving a huge margin for improvement that he has only been able to exploit with RunMotion Coach. Last August, he completed the UTMB® Mont-Blanc with a RunMotion Coach training.
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 ranking with each climb. The manifest 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 training for the UTMB®. I started with 4 days a week. After the first two months (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 app?
« I discovered the RunMotion Coach app via the UTMB® website. The availability of specific trail training and the possibility of customization are the features that led me to try the app. »
What do you prefer in the app?
« Like most people, the time I have available for training is very limited. The ability to plan the weeks one by one, without missing key training sessions, is extremely valuable. »
What is your next sporting challenge?
« My next big event is the Trans Vulcania, on the island of La Palma, recently postponed to May 2022 due to the volcanic eruption. »
