Great full for years of experience 😊⛰️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

After working with runners on the road and track like the Dutch team at the European Championships, Nacho Cáceres at the London Olympic Games 2012 and in 2007 I made my professional way into trail running.

I had the pleasure to work with .run and the Danish team at the World Championship Trail running in Penyagolosa before making my "debut" at the UTMB in 2008 with (2019 UTMB winner!) before his first UTMB participation.

Afterwards I had the pleasure to work in Chamonix and experience the magic in close up.
Combining physiotherapy, mental coaching and crewing I offered 3 in 1 services for , .aurell and .

This year I won't make it to be in Chamonix but mentally and physically prepared several runners to get the max out of the diverse races this week!!

It's crewing time again!!

Back in Andorra for the to support crewing him in his 105 kms race with my all in one guidance.

Yesterday I treated his legs, today we made the race planning and set a good mindset and tomorrow it will be more about getting all the race aspects right.

We expect a very hot 🥵 race so crewing will be essential including a special "scarf" for ice cubes 🧊🧊

Ps. If anyone has a doubt which nationality he has just look at the second picture 😂😂

Why my first DNF was a good decision...

After my win last year in the 58 km PTCN Cami de Cavalls I really wanted to come back to run again in beautiful Menorca.

The organisation of the invited me to defend my title so it was on my agenda 🎉🙂.

When i got the entrance secured to run the Boston Marathon only 12 days before i doubted what to do; one or the other...or both? As I didn't want to pass on either of the experiences I decided to go for both.

I knew everything had to go perfect to be able to race well in Menorca and off course it didn't 😅; the Boston race was a lot tougher than I hoped for, the travel afterwards horrible, I got sick for a week, we had a logistic disaster at my clinic due to an energy black out, Vueling canceled my flight to Menorca and it promised to be the hottest day of the week at race day 🥵

So....
My ambition was to win (untill I saw Tofol Castanyer, Pau Capell, Marc Pons and Jesus Garcia on the start line 😜)
My expectation was to finish anyway decent
The reality was I left the race at km 39...

The reasons for my (first ever!) DNF:
- I wasn't enjoying it any more 😕
- my body was suffering for 15 km 😮‍💨
- the 20 km still to go promised to be dangerous at 26 degrees without shadow 🔥
- there was nothing to prove for myself 🙂
- I enjoyed 39 km of beautiful Menorca 🌅

I heard fellow runners say that I had to continue as suffering is normal in Trail Running. I agree with this if it's chosen. In my vision for me this might be the last 10 km/ 20% but not more. For sure not if it's puts in danger my health.

Life is bigger than running....running is just a part of life!!
(...and health always comes first!!)

Finisher Boston 2025 🥳🏃🏻‍♂️!!

What an experience it was...
- 5 am alarm
- 5:45 am leaving the Airbnb
- 6:45 am bus loading (on the first Bus 😜!)
- over 2 hours of waiting in the Athlete Village in the cold 🥶
- 10 am start in wave 1 with 8.000 runners
- 3 hours of lots of ups and downs...both on the course (staggering 625 m- & 500 m+) as on feelings; flying 🪽 on the first mostly down hill 10 kms...suffering on Heartbreak hill at kms 30 to 33 🥵
- the most incredible atmosphere along the road with hundreds of thousands of spectators cheering us on 🎉

I can truly say this was the toughest road marathon i have done in my life but very very pleased with the experience and my final result getting in 369th in my age category which is not bad fo this "unofficial world championship" ☺️🌎🏆

A big thanks to , , , my colleagues at and all the amazing spectators on the road 😍🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

Boston Marathon 2025...my first (and last...?) Mayor 🏃🏻‍♂️🌎

After running a fast in 2024 I knew I had a good change getting in to the iconic
At age 48 I also understood this might be one of the last chances to run it fast...so i signed up and got selected.

So here i am; in Boston...as a nature loving trail runner 😅.
My thoughts:
1. It is BIG!
Everything about it; the expo, the amount of people and all the events around it. I have never seen a city this "overwhelmed" by an event. Even Rotterdam which i believed was already crazy is nothing compared to what happens here:
100 % ♥️ for running!!
2. It is commercial 💵💰!
Which has it's good things as lots of brands are here to showcase their products including activities and give aways. My favorite was the cafe with one of my example (vegan) trail runner hosting a chat.
What I didn't like is that it feels very "capitalist". The huge Adidas stand with the fantastic special Boston marathon collection looked like a black Friday shop...a bit too much "look at me" feeling for me as people bought jackets as if they were free 😳
3. It is a great city!
I specifically choose to have an Airbnb outside the city center and close to Harvard which was a great choice. An amazing first acclimatizing day just strolling around the neighborhood and university was perfect. As a bonus a client bought me a ticket to see the Boston Red socks 🧦 ⚾!!

Summary...I am looking very much forward to the race tomorrow and then...I am longing to hit the trails again on my own 😉🧘 with the beautiful race of 58 kms coming up in 2 weeks 😃🌅

2024 was fantastic...let's bring on 2025!!

What a memorable year it was; the pictures give some nice impressions of some of my "happy moments" ranging from just everyday joys to seeing Hassan win gold at the Olympic marathon!

Running wise it was a great year with beautiful personal races in the half and full marathon of Barcelona, second places at the Costa Brava Stage Run and the 7hills Trail...and a victory in the 58kms Cami de Cavalls 🎉🏃🏻‍♂️🌅!

Besides my own kms i helped lots of runners to enjoy this beautiful world of running with services in physiotherapy, training and mental coaching!!

So...whatever you have in mind for 2025, feel free to reach out to me to support you to get the best out of it!!!!
