Describe your best marathon memory.

The marathon that left me with the best memory is London marathon, where I was the pacer for 3 hours and 50.I was alone and I was afraid I wouldn’t make it, but the crazy  cheering of the people gave me the strength to get to the finish line with a smile and bring many runners with me.

Why do you pace?

I love being a pacer to meet many crazy runners like me who never give up. I want to convey my positive support to other runners and seeing their smiles and happy looks at the finish line makes me happy.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

The best experience as a pacer was at the marathon in Hamburg where I accompanied a friend and helped him reach his goal of arriving at the finish line in 4 hours. He did it suffering a lot but he was really happy to have shared this important desire of his with me.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Running with a group of pacers helps you forget about fatigue and make time fly by

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Running should be a joyful experience, that's why I always run with a smile. it's not the time it takes to reach the finish line that matters, but how you experience the journey to get there. with me next to us we'll laugh a lot and the meters under our shoes will pass without us noticing

Anything else you’d like to share?

Nothing is impossible if you want it with your heart. Commitment and perseverance bring great results and the finish line of a marathon is one of the most beautiful
