Describe your best marathon memory.

the last meters of Valencia: the wings of the crowd and the mind only focused on giving everything I had left

Why do you pace?

I enjoy being a point of reference for others, helping, advising, encouraging,

and the recognition of those I help achieve their goals: ecstatic!

Tell us your best pacing experience.

In Brescia: I was Pacer for 3h, and the last 10Km I remained with just one runner. I ran until the last meter urging him not to give up

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Because I'm regular

Because I play when it's time to joke. Because I'm serious when it's time to run.

Because I'll be a true guardian angel for him.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

If you choose to follow me, just focus on running, regulating your breathing, and enjoying every single stride. Forget about your smartwatch, I'll take care of the timing!
