DO YOU FEEL CAPPED, NEED MOTIVATION AND WANT BETTER RESULTS?
IN THIS CASE YOU MAY NEED A RUNNING COACH!
Who am I?
I am a long distance mountain runner, a certified running and ultrarunning coach and a certified personal trainer. I started practicing mountain running 8 years ago and participated in the first competition in 2015. Since then I practice mountain running at a competitive level and I have successfully finished competitions from 20 to 120km.
In recent years I have studied and are studying the newest and most advanced training methodologies and principles, which I try to apply successfully in the programs of the runners I train.
My goal is to provide people with the education, resources, information and motivation they need to practice running or mountain running. The training plans are dedicated to both more experienced runners and beginners.
I believe that every person can turn their potential into real results. It's about work, motivation, patience, self-knowledge and a structured and personalized training plan. My goal is to help each individual to reach personal goals in the most effective way possible.
The plans are 100% customized and developed according to each person and progress is monitored on the TrainingPeaks platform.
During the 8 years since I practically ran mountain running, I ran almost all over Romania, but also through countries such as Italy, Spain, Austria or Turkey.
Among the results obtained in competitions are the following:
1st place - Ultramarathon Ciucaș X3 (2018) - 105km / 5000m +
2nd place - Ultramarathon 7500 (2017) - 100km / 7500m +
2nd and 3rd place - Via Maria Theresia Ultramarathon (2017/2018) - 81km / 3300m +

"I have known Alin for some time, he is a passionate runner and a good friend, as well as as a coach. Until last year I ran for years without any plan. But at the end of the year 2021 I asked him to help me with a training plan in hopes of improving my motivation, times and running more efficiently.I was able to stick to a plan over the winter and the results were better than I noticed an improvement in all aspects: efficiency, dynamics, tone, motivation.
Thank you!"

TESTIMONIALS
Matei Galatanu
"I started working with Alin out of a desire to train correctly and efficiently. Although I had a foundation in understanding running and some experience, working with Alin helped me in several ways.
Through well-structured training and continuous support, I have reached personal bests in a much shorter time than I would have expected, which motivates me in my daily training. I was able to increase the volume and intensity of my training and ran new personal bests, both on the road and on the trail.
I also like the dedication and involvement Alin shows in every context. He manages to provide the necessary support to each athlete he works with, which I personally consider essential in choosing the right coach.
Last but not least, Alin provided me with the necessary resources to document myself in the field of sports: books, articles, blog posts and open discussions related to this vast topic.
The best part is that we constantly review my progress and I get the support I need, especially when the workouts aren't going perfectly or the goals aren't completely met. I consider Alin a friend and highly recommend the services he offers."

"This year I had the opportunity to train with a coach, more precisely with Alin Cîrdei.
Among the benefits felt, apart from the progress in my running and staying away from injury, was a great peace of mind that came with the confidence that I was doing things right. And a word of encouragement said at the right time also had its purpose.
Alin is a warm, competent person who takes an interest in his students."
