Testimonials
Coach Claude is the quiet engine behind my success. He’s gentle, kind, deeply knowledgeable—and always willing to learn more for the sake of his athletes. He listens, adapts, and supports. As an ultrarunner himself, he understands the mental and physical demands of the sport. He shapes each program around your life, your goals, and your recovery. He believes in the power of rest, and he reminds me often to listen to my body. He’s not just a coach—he’s a steady friend in a chaotic sport. Dr. Christili M (South Africa)
“… the coaching experience has been about much more than just running. It’s been a journey of pushing limits, and realizing that with the right guidance and mindset, anything is possible..” Egor S (Germany)

“I’ve really appreciated the support and everything I’ve learned through Claude’s coaching״ The fact that we are based in different towns, hasn’t been a barrier to high-quality coaching” Harry P (UK)
