The first Step

Running Beyond Limits: A Journey of Endurance, Resilience, and Self-Discovery Across France.

It starts with an idea and a desire. For me, it was the spark of defiance against the odds, the will to reclaim what I was told might be lost forever. Life has thrown its fair share of challenges my way, but perhaps none as daunting as the prospect of losing my leg after a work accident. The diagnosis was bleak: a future without walking, let alone running. Yet, I refused to accept it as my fate. Against the odds, I proved it wrong.

Years later, I found myself once again facing a barrier to my passion for running—this time, a pelvis stress fracture. It was the result of a mix of old injuries, age, and the absence of functional strength training to support my body’s evolving needs. The physical pain was one thing, but the emotional toll of being sidelined from something that brought me so much joy was a challenge in itself.

Through it all, what brought me back wasn’t just traditional recovery methods. It was mindfulness running training—an approach that connected my body, mind, and spirit to heal and strengthen in ways I hadn’t tapped into before. Mindfulness taught me to listen to my body, to honor its limits while gently pushing them, and to find a deeper connection to every step I took.

Now, I’m not just back on track; I’m setting my sights on a monumental goal. In June 2026, I’ll be undertaking a transformative endurance challenge: running across France. This journey will span over 1,000 kilometers, pushing my limits at a pace of 60 kilometers daily, in a self-supported event that will test my mind, body, and soul.

Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing the stages of my training, the highs and lows, the lessons learned, and the preparations for this life-altering adventure. From rebuilding strength to cultivating resilience, and from the technical logistics to the emotional journey, I want to bring you along every step of the way.

This isn’t just about running; it’s about overcoming. It’s about showing that setbacks don’t have to define us and that the human spirit is capable of extraordinary things when fueled by determination and purpose.

Stay tuned, follow along, and join me as I prepare for this incredible event. Together, let’s explore what it means to move forward—one mindful step at a time.
