Tê'ta head with Paul Ogier, Trail Running


Can you introduce yourself ?

Until 19 years old I spent as much time as possible on horseback, I know it is not ideal for a VO2 Max of Hell but I have always been passionate about nature. I obtained a professional license in the environment that I completed with a BTS Diet of Sport.

My father practiced skiing at high level and opened one of the first 8a in France in climbing. On the maternal side, my mother also bathed in mountaineering. We are 6 brothers and sisters and all athletes! I think I have my competitive character of my childhood because with my brothers we already organized the ‘’ Olympic Games ’’ and ping-pong tournaments in our garden at 12 years old!

At 20 I got into the game of "surpassing oneself" by the practice of snorkeling. After 2 years I made -60m deep at the palm during a competition in Nice. That same year I had to do a 3 -week internship for my school. Far from the pools, I couldn't dive anymore, I started running for the first time!

Today at 25 I work for marketing for Hoka One One on a freelance. I am also a running coach and dietitian. I set myself a goal of 15 hours of training per week and between 70 and 120km on foot depending on the season.
