When did you start running and why?
I've started running in 2018 because I found peace and balance between my home mountains. By that time I was playing football at quite high level but I was a bit tired of it. I was no more enjoying playing it, therefore I've started to run on my own few times a week on flat and walking fast on mountains with my friends or alone. I did my first race without knowing a thing about this world and I arrived 2nd, it was the start of everything. I felt in love with the feeling of burning lungs and legs, I found balance on being alone in the mountains. For me it was and it still is priceless.

Why Altra?
Because it does reflect my spirit of being somehow different from the mainstream. Moreover I chose ALTRA because it reflects the way I experience trail running: natural movement, respect for the body, and long-term development. In trail and mountain running, it’s essential to have a product that allows you to run efficiently and sustainably, and ALTRA gives me that feeling.
