The Philosophy of the Team
1. Personalization above all
The logic is that there is no “one size fits all” solution:
Goals, daily routine, terrain, weaknesses, and history determine the plan. This is explicitly stated as a basic principle: “personalization is key.”
2. Scientifically proven approach for optimization performance
The approach presented is analytical and based on the athlete’s training data, relying on the latest and most reliable research.
3. Holistic runner preparation: road/mountain + strength training + hybrid training
Our team specializes in running & trail running, while also emphasizing the strengthening of runners and new formats such as HYROX.
4. We take on runners from zero to ultra and provide support for all levels
Support for everyone from beginners to ultra-marathon runners, with services for runners of all levels.
5. Mindset and team identity
The slogan accompanying her presence is “BE YOUR OWN REVOLUTION” and embodies the consistency and continuous effort of our athletes who exceed their limits.

Head Coach & Founder
Ultra Effort Coaching
Trail and Ultramarathon Runner
Born in 1998. I have been involved in sports since I was young, but I have been running as an amateur since 2014. I started with track and field and the 400m, but soon (within two years) I moved on to long-distance and mountain running, where I have participated in numerous races. In 2023, I began my journey into ultra-distance running.
Since 2021, I have been working as a coach in gyms and sports clubs, and at the end of 2023, the Ultra Effort Coaching project came to fruition, a team that offers personalized online services for runners of all levels. Our athletes come from various parts of Greece, as well as Switzerland and Germany.
