Ultra Running | France

BIOGRAPHY

Believe in yourself more than anyone.

Born in Vercors, I grew up practicing alpine skiing, ski mountaineering, cycling. I discovered my passion for trail running in 2013 and ventured into ultra distances in 2016. As a professional Ultra Trail athlete, meeting the physical and mental challenges of my sport gives me immense satisfaction. I'm based in Savoie, which is an ideal training ground, with lots of elevation changes and beautiful landscape. I dream of participating in other mythical Ultra Trail races and live of my passion.

What's your best memory of trail running?

There are many memorable moments, but among them, the finishes at the UTMB in 2022 and 2023, with a place in the Top 10, remain unforgettable. The atmosphere and enthusiasm that followed so much effort was simply incredible.

What's your greatest source of motivation in difficult times?

My main motivation during difficult moments is the fact that I practice ultra to reach this delicate state. It's the moment when everything has to be earned, when the acceptance of pain is necessary to cross the finish line and obtain the satisfaction I'm looking for even before the race begins.
