Alexandre is only in his third trail-running season, but his results are already signalling his potential. An engineer heading up a project in a hospital, Alexandre is a big proponent of cross-training and spends most of his free time training on the track, running the trails, biking or swimming. Eating vegan for the past eight years, he’s also passionate about nutrition to adopt healthy eating habits and find ways to optimize his sports performances.
Now a tried-and-true trail lover, Alexandre is fascinated by how resilient our bodies are and how they are capable of so much more than we could imagine. He’s hoping to encourage his social circle to move more and to catch the trail-running bug.
Hailing from the Pyrenees in France, Guillaume has always preferred the mountains over the ocean. He’s loved cross-country skiing since he was a child, and running became his favourite sport when he was in university. He started running marathons before switching to trail running about three years ago.
Guillaume enjoys the overarching mental aspect of the sport and that women can compete equally with men. He sees running as a combination of useful, exhausting, minimalist, effective and renewing.
After an exceptional season in 2019, he is excited to see how his 2020 race might be different and will maybe even beat his time!
