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. He has been focused on trail running for 10 years now. Over the years, Christian has identified what works well for him and what doesn’t, leaving a huge room for improvement that he was only able to exploit with RunMotion Coach. Last August, he finished the UTMB® Mont-Blanc with RunMotion Coach’s 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 ranking with each ascent. 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 the UTMB® preparation?
“I spent 7 months training for the UTMB®. I started with 4 days a week. After the first 2 months (test phase), I increased my availability on the app 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 find the RunMotion Coach app?
“I discovered the RunMotion Coach app through the UTMB® website. The availability of specific trail training and the possibility of customization are the features that motivated me to try the app.”
What do you prefer in the app?
“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.”
