Biography: 
In my younger years I started running to support my physical condition for my boxing. After that I did a lot of ultra distance mountain biking till I started  “serious” running after the age of 40.  Since than I run everything between 1.500 mtr on the track till ultra distances in the mountains, I just like the diversity of running in all different type of races at different places.  I love running, there are more days I run twice than days I don’t run.  Since 2022 I’m very proud to be a member of the Scott Running Team Benelux.
