About me
Who am I?
I have lived and worked abroad as an independent journalist and communications consultant for most of my life. I have spent a total of more than 13 years in Asia and Thailand has become my second home. Today, together with my partner, I share my time between Denmark and Khao Tao, a small town in the countryside south of Hua Hin.
Here, I have my own training paradise and know the trails in the local area inside out. It’s my base when we take part in some of the insanely exciting and beautiful ultra races that Thailand abounds with.
I base my coaching on an in-depth and long-standing theoretical and practical understanding of running, especially ultra running. As author of “The Ultra women” and co-author of “Ultra running for all”, together with Jesper Kenn Olsen, I am familiar with the extensive and latest research available on running and its effects on the body. As an ultra runner with a long series of ultra runs on my resume, I have lots of practical experience to pull on.
