About me
I have been running since I was five (when I started playing football). I have been practicing running seriously for 7 years now and my favorite sport is hurdles (OCR-Spartan Race). I fell in love with the Spartan Race because it is a combination of adrenaline and various motor skills that require me to train my whole body and mind to be ready for this form of competition.
What do you do when you don’t run?
I have a master’s degree in kinesiology and work as a kinesitherapist. My job is to help people, whether it is injury prevention and/or rehabilitation. Since I am an active athlete, I consider my job more as a vocation because I work with other athletes every day, helping them to avoid or overcome injuries, and thus transfer my knowledge and experience.
My motivation during hard times?
I’m looking for answers in my physical challenges and every time my body gives me feedback it makes me push my endurance to unimaginable limits. Sometimes I succeed in pushing my boundaries over the limit but I have to admit that I’ve memorized failed attempts better than successful ones. Facing failure and looking defeat in the eye is what pushes my body and mind back to training and hard work.
To succeed in something unimaginable, overcome life’s obstacles, overcome your fears.. The feeling which follows becomes a part of you and changes your character from the root. That’s how I fell in love with the Spartan Race competitions and ultra-trail running. Spending the morning in the mountains after an all-night run or winning the world’s toughest obstacle course race is my zen and my freedom. Therein lies the feeling which makes me happy but at the same time quickly disappears somewhere inside me that makes me look for it again and again every time through a new challenge.
I think that’s my mental strength. A constant game of chasing that wonderful feeling called life.

I love BITE ME because…
Since I pay attention to the nutritional quality of everyday foods, BITE ME bars fit perfectly into my daily routine. They are the first bars that didn’t cause me any stomach problems during workouts and races and that’s why they’re always by my side. The high quality of fruits, nuts and other natural foods make this bar ideal for anyone who cares about their daily diet.
My super power?
Not strong, but steel will!
My guilty pleasure?
Since I was born in the Mediterranean, good red wine is something I can’t resist
