Transition from road running to Ultra as busy Executive

“I had a dream and a mission to make the transition from road running to an ultra trail, not an easy feat for a full time, working mother of 2 kids, living near Amsterdam with hardly any “real trails” less than a few hours drive away.

My first step was to find a trainer who could help me on this journey, I was lucky enough to find Erik.

Erik has helped me on every step of this transition, giving me the confidence that anything is possible, giving me the training program to ensure I was fully prepared and a calming voice when the pre-race panic sets in.

Erik’s programing was tailored to my specific situation, making sure I could make the most of the little downtime I had to train and adding in strength training and stair reps to made up for the lack of real elevation.

In my first year I finished within the top 5 females in my first 2 Ultra Trails. I am excited for next year, to make it longer and more extreem!

Thanks Erik for all the support.”
