I build the training process on many years of experience in ultramarathons, a solid understanding of running physiology, and modern training methods. For me, a training plan should never be just a list of workouts. It should be a structured process that helps an athlete gradually build fitness and move steadily toward their goal.

Every training plan is created individually. It takes into account your current fitness level, goals, available time for training, the environment you train in, and your previous experience in the sport. This approach allows training to become a natural part of your life rather than an additional burden.

The plan can be adjusted as the training process progresses. If your recovery, fatigue level, work schedule, or training conditions change, the workload is adapted to maintain steady progress and avoid unnecessary overload.

Strength training is also an important part of the process. Strong muscles, a stable core, and resilient feet and knees make it easier to handle running loads, improve running mechanics, and reduce the risk of injury.

Each workout is selected based on your goal and your current fitness level. At different stages of preparation this may include strength blocks, endurance-focused training, speed work, or interval sessions. This approach helps develop the specific qualities that currently limit progress and gradually bring you into your best shape for race day.

The training process is based on real training data and your feedback. I analyze information from your watch — heart rate, pace, workout execution, and overall training load. Through the VDOT platform, where all training is delivered, I can track your workouts through detailed graphs and clearly see how your body is responding to the workload.

The main goal of my coaching is to create a training plan that allows you to progress without unnecessary overload and prepare confidently for your races — whether it’s your first marathon or a demanding mountain ultra.
