I'm passionate about Running (Road and Trail) and Cycling. These are some of my proudest achievements and records. You can find more about them on my Strava profile.
Running

Half Marathon Personal Record

1:37:10 [4:35m/km] (2025)
Maybe my proudest achievement, I was preparing for the 2025 10km Caluire race, but I was feeling good and decided to go for it. I was aiming for a sub 1:40 minutes and was in the right pace until the 14km mark, where I stared going faster and faster until I finished with a 1:37:10 time.

5K Personal Record

20:13 [4:02m/km] (2025)
Achieved at the Foulée de Bron race, with a 4:02m/km pace. I was aiming for a sub 20 minutes but started too slow and wasn't able to gain enough momentum to break the 20 minutes barrier, but I'm still proud of the result.

10K Personal Record

41:59 [4:10m/km] (2025)
Achieved at the 10km Caluire race, with a 4:10m/km pace. I was aiming for a sub 43 minutes but by pushing harder in the second half, I managed to break the 42 minutes barrier.

Cycling

Mont Ventoux Climb via Bedoin

The most legendary climb in road cycling(2024)
Conquered the iconic Mont Ventoux and went to the Gorde de la Nesque with 2 friends. It was a tough climb, not like any other, but the view and the pride at the top were worth it.

222.22km Ride

Longest ride to date (2025)
Rode 222.22km on a 2.6km loop in about 8H, just for fun.

2000m+ Elevation Gain

2 Cat 2 and an HC climb (2024)
With 3 friends, in the Pyrénées, we climbed the Col du Portech, the Col d'Ayens and the Col de La Core. Rainy, cold and steep, but such good memories.

Current Mindset and Goals
I'm currently training for the 2026 Barcelone marathon, aiming for a sub 3:30, I try to run 4-5 times a week, and 2-3 times a week on the bike.
