How did you start running?

From having been involved in various sports throughout my life, but not running specifically, I was told that there was a group of people who ran up in our forest every Sunday. I followed along and then I was stuck in the wonderful world of trail running, this was a little over 10 years ago.

Do you have a special ritual before a race?

I go through my equipment and energy plan several times to leave nothing to chance.

What are your best recovery tips after a race?

A little depending on the length of the race I would say. Fill up on energy and fluids, rest from running depending on the length and type of the race, and walk to slowly get the body's functions up and running.

On the days you don't feel like working out, what motivates you to do it anyway?

"Just do it", you know what a nice feeling it is when you get home again.

Which shoe from Topo is your favorite and why?

I would say MTN Racer 2 and 3 . Adequate cushioning so that you still have a little "ground feeling", wonderful grip with the Vibram sole and of course the wide toe box, which makes it easier for the forefoot to be able to move freely.
