Running Coaching

Your first race — or just to stay fit

I coach beginners through TrainingPeaks or intervals.icu. Every week you get a fresh plan based on your training load and how last week went — not a fixed 12-week PDF that ignores how you're actually feeling.

  • Fresh plan every week Based on your training load, recovery, and what's coming up in your life
  • Ongoing adjustments — anytime Busy week? Feeling off? Just tell me and I'll tweak the plan
  • WhatsApp support — anytime No waiting for weekly check-ins. Just message me whenever
  • Run together (optional) If you're in Basel, we can do long runs and/or intervals together

About

About me

I'm Ivan 👋 I've been doing BJJ for 12+ years, and at the same time I've trained for and finished marathons, triathlons, and trail races — all while working full-time as a software engineer.

I had to figure out how to balance it all: how to train for a marathon without burning out, how to keep progressing in BJJ while running 50km weeks, how to recover properly when you're juggling multiple things. I also built Kiiro — a training load app that helps runners train smarter using data.

I work with beginners and recreational athletes who want to start something new, do more without getting injured, or just need someone to help them stay on track.

No complicated sign-ups. No commitments. Just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.

1

Reach out

Send a WhatsApp message or email. Tell me a bit about yourself and what you'd like to achieve.

2

Let's chat

We'll have a casual chat — in person or online — to discuss your goals and find the right approach.

3

Start training

Pick a service, set a schedule that works for you, and let's get moving. No pressure, no rush.

"No experience needed. No judgment. Just show up and we'll figure it out together."

I believe everyone can be an athlete. You don't need to be fast, strong, or flexible to start. You just need to start.
