What made you love trail running?
My father, who lives in the Vercors region, instilled in me a love of effort and sport. When I was little, we would go on multi-day camping trips in the mountains, hiking. I love those timeless moments in the heart of the mountains, and gradually I took up trail running.
Your first trail run?
A short, local 14km night trail run in the Pyrenees. A race I won despite getting lost; I really enjoyed the friendly, trail atmosphere.
Why did you join MOOV360?
To meet new people at events who share the same passion and similar values. For technical clothing that's very comfortable to wear.
What's your best memory from a race or outing?
My Ironman in New Zealand. It's not the race itself that I remember, but the fact that my mother and stepfather had made the trip to come and support me, as well as sharing this race with my best friend who lives there.
A post-run ritual?
Using the massage robot to relax my muscles, especially after a long ride.
What motivates you to go for a run even when you don't feel like it?
Having a goal in mind always motivates me. Also, if I'm feeling lazy, thinking about what comes after the run and the satisfaction it brings helps.
An unexpected side of your personality?
I love sleeping too much, and if you wake me up in the morning and I haven't had breakfast, it's best not to talk to me hahaha
