Gabrielle

What made you love trail running?

My father, who lives in the Vercors, gave me a taste for exercise and sport. When I was little, we would spend several days bivouacking in the mountains, hiking. I love these timeless moments in the mountains, and gradually I got into trail running.

Your first trail?

A small, local 14km night trail in the Pyrenees. A race I won despite a misdirection; 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 is very comfortable to wear.

Your best memory of 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 traveled to cheer me on, as well as sharing the race with my best friend who lives there.

A post-run ritual?

Using the massager to relax my muscles, especially after a long ride.

What motivates you to go out 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 that the outing brings.

An unexpected side of your personality?

I like to sleep too much and in the morning if someone wakes me up and I haven't had breakfast, it's better not to talk to me hahah
