The year of my life

This year has been one of the best of my life, and Fred played a huge role in that. I came to him with ambitious goals: running UTMB alongside completing a half and full Ironman. Together, we tackled every challenge and exceeded expectations. As a coach myself, I’ve gained invaluable insights from Fred’s technical expertise. His ability to analyze data and integrate it effectively into training was incredible. But beyond the technicalities, our connection as humans made the experience truly special. Our conversations often centered on life rather than training, which I deeply appreciated.

Fred’s programming gave me confidence, and my results speak for themselves. In my half Ironman, I shaved 8 minutes off my half marathon personal best—after a 2km swim and 90km bike ride. My full Ironman was equally unforgettable. Most importantly, I completed UTMB, a feat that felt monumental. Fred’s approach balanced trail running with cross-training, which undoubtedly shaped my journey differently, but for the better.

This year wasn’t just about athletic achievements; it was about personal growth. Fred’s guidance created a space for me to evolve in many ways, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.
