About the runner

Trail runner based in Prague. I run trails for balance, connection, and the long game — seeking not just endurance, but harmony between body, mind, and nature. I average 30–50 km per week on technical trails. Although I’ve been trail running for 30 years, I only recently earned my UTMB Index (405). It was a tough decision to start racing — my trail ethos is about connection with nature, not chasing my Garmin. But my first ultra is on the horizon, with Corsica’s rugged beauty in my sights. For me, trail running isn’t escape — it’s return. Visit my website to learn more about my trail ethos.
