Umaga na naman. Grieving continues.
Grieving the past.
Grieving our possibilities.

Ang daming nawala nang sabay-sabay. Now I’m waking up every morning to the reality that you’re no longer part of my everyday life. I have to remember the loss all over again, even before the day has properly started.

I lost a friend, routines, Koomi nights. I lost the person I wanted to send random videos to, and all the little things I thought I would still get to share with you.

Maybe that's why mornings feel so cruel. There's no distraction yet. No work to occupy my mind, no conversations to pull me away from my thoughts.
Just me, the quiet, and the absence of someone I miss terribly.

Bonjour Reddit & r/ultrarunning! I've just returned from another epic Hardrock adventure and am now heading to Chamonix for an exciting UTMB week, where I'll be supporting friends and fellow athletes as they take on their races. It's one of my favourite times of the year, with the global trail running community coming together to celebrate the sport we all love.

If you've ever wondered how ultra runners approach training, prepare for major races, manage nutrition, recover between efforts, or stay motivated through the highs and lows that come with chasing big goals in the mountains, I'd be happy to chat.

On 24th August from 2-3PM CEST, I'll be joining r/ultrarunning to kick off HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc week with an AMA, answering your questions on all things ultra trail running. Whether you'd like to talk about UTMB, training, racing, race strategy, nutrition, recovery, mindset, gear, or some of my favourite memories from years of competing on the trails, I'd love to hear from you. I'll be answering some of the top questions, sharing what's worked for me throughout my career, and talking about the lessons I've learned along the way.

This year also marks the 10-year anniversary of my first UTMB victory, so if you're curious about how the sport has evolved, how training has changed over the years, or what keeps me coming back to the mountains year after year, feel free to ask. 

Drop your questions below and join me on r/ultrarunning on 24th August from 2-3PM CEST. I'm happy to answer in both French and English. Talk soon!
