Sebastiaan's Story
Athlete Testimonial Sebastiaan
UTC is great! I really like:
The sophisticated UTC online training and planning tool with a huge variation of different work-outs and statistics to evaluate progress.
The insightful video tutorials by Karel Sabbe - especially the ones about nutrition strategy.
All the personal help from the experienced UTC team and answers to my many questions. The UTC team really helped me prepare for my trail races. I am learning a lot from them and use a lot of their advice and experience during my training runs and the races.
What are/were you training for?
This year I was training for two races: Eiger Ultra E51 and Matterhorn Ultraks Sky race. In 2022 I would like to run the Eiger Ultra E101.
Why did you choose this race?
I chose these races for their scenic routes and fabulous views. Also the distance and elevation gain (50k distance, 3000-4000m elevation gain) suited my experience and fitness level. Next year I hope to finish a 100k race.
Race outcome goals?
I was very happy with the outcome. I enjoyed both races a lot and finished faster than my goal time. But my real goal was not the time, it was finishing the race and enjoying the ride. I am already looking forward to my next races!
