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 had always had serious doubts about the relevance of his training. For the last 10 years, he has been focusing on trail running. Over the years, Christian has identified things that work well for him and others that do not, 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 preparation.
How did your UTMB® finisher goal go?
« During the race, the sensations were very good. For the first time in my life, I moved up in the rankings with each climb. The clear 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 the UTMB® preparation?
« I spent 7 months training for the UTMB®. I started with 4 days a week. After the first 2 months (testing phase), I increased my availability on the app to 7 days a week. »
What motivates you to run?
« As a trail runner, I have a taste for challenge and self-improvement in my DNA. 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 trail training and the possibility of customization are the features that pushed me to try the application. »
What do you prefer in the application?
« Like most people, the time I have available to train 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 major event is the Trans Vulcania, on the island of La Palma, recently postponed to May 2022 due to the volcanic eruption. »
