Running coaching
Road, trail and ultra
From your first 10 km to 100 miles. I race ultra trails myself: four races over 100 km in 2026 alone, including Lavaredo and UTMB. Whatever I put in your plan, I've tried on myself first.
How I coach
A plan for you, not a generic programme
Off-the-shelf programmes assume everyone has the same time, the same history and the same goal. I build your plan around your week, the terrain you train on and the race you're targeting, and I adjust it based on what you actually do.
Your week, your race
Sessions are scheduled on the days you really have time. For ultras we also build a fuelling plan and train your gut, so you don't lose the race at an aid station.
Follow-up and communication
I review every completed session and your comments, so the plan changes in time, not after an injury. When something doesn't go to plan, you let me know and we agree on the next step.
Feel before numbers
Heart rate and pace are a check, but a big part of your training is done by feel. That way you can judge your effort on race day, even when your watch or the terrain says otherwise.

“It made me do the hill intervals I used to put off or skip without a coach.”
Matea Morović
2026 Croatian Trail League winner

“The first time at DUT I had plenty of desire but not the preparation. After two and a half years of work it's a different story.”
Deni Jelaš
DUT 2 hours faster in one year, 4th place in 2026

“At 58 I can run 4–5 hours every weekend without suffering for the next ten days like I used to.”
Tomislav Batarilo
11 months injury-free, age-group win at Promina Trail

Dragoslav Jotanović
marathon 2:54:53, faster than 13 years ago

“For the first time I didn't fall apart in a long race: in the final part, where everything usually starts to break down, I was still running and passing people.”
