My Background

Endurance sports have always been a big part of my life. I competed in triathlon at an elite level for several years, with highlights including a fourth-place finish in the Swedish Triathlon Cup and a bronze medal at the Swedish Duathlon Championships. I’ve also won several local races in both triathlon and running. Running quickly became my biggest passion — I love the simplicity, the challenge, and the satisfaction it brings. My personal bests are 18:46min for 5K and 38:52min for 10K. Alongside my own training, I’ve spent many years coaching adults in both swimming and running. I have been a swimming coach for adults and, for five years, a running coach with Runacademy in Falun, leading group sessions focused on technique, endurance, and motivation.

Group Training for Me: A Source of Joy in Life.

What I enjoy most about coaching is seeing people grow — not just as runners, but in confidence and consistency. I believe that training should be fun, goal-driven, and tailored to where you are in your journey. My coaching style is supportive, structured, and personal. Whether you’re aiming for your first 5K or chasing a new PB, I’ll help you train smart, stay motivated, and enjoy the process. Running is a powerful tool for both physical and mental strength — and I love helping others discover that for themselves.
