We don't choose our bodies, but we choose what we do with them.

Every day, I roam the mountains around Grenoble, building a body capable of carrying me to the finish lines of the races I dreamed about as a kid.

What is your ultra?

My ultra isn't just a single day or a single week—it lasts far longer. My ultra is stepping out every day to chase my athletic dreams and sharing that journey with the people I love. Season after season, I put in the hard work, ride out the lows, and celebrate the highs. Sometimes solo, often beside those who matter most. And when the season ends, like stepping into an aid station, I take a pause surrounded by family and friends—breathing it in before locking in on the next leg ahead.

Why did you choose Näak as your nutrition partner?

When I started stepping up to longer distances back in 2022, it hit me just how crucial nutrition is for both performance and daily training. I needed products that balanced health—consuming several a day—with peak performance, all while keeping my environmental footprint as small as possible. Partnering with näak was a total no-brainer, and they've been my go-to ever since.
