Describe your best marathon memory.

 

NY marathon – it was like a big party where I was the star guest. Once in a life time experience. A dream comes true!

Why do you pace?

 

To support/help and inspire the runners, to be proud of others. To enjoy the race without personal record, to build connections and also to enjoy travel opportunities.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

 

It was for the first time, in 2021 during the Antwerp night half marathon. I will never forget how strangers trusted me to help them finish their race. Mission accomplished successfully, of course. .

Why should someone run in your pace group?

 

I respect the pace of the entire race and take care of my group. We start as ‘runners’ and finish with the spirit of ‘friends,’ maintaining positive vibes all the way.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

 

Follow me, trust me, stay with us/group, stay positive, hydrate & fuel.
