There’s a kind of quiet determination in how Eva moves through the world and through mountains. She’s not one to shout her goals from rooftops. Make no mistake: she is building something fierce. This summer, that something takes the shape of OCC, a 57k alpine race, 3500m+, finishing in Chamonix. Eva’s road started, as many good things do, in a place of curiosity. Earlier this year, Eva tackled a tough, hot 50k in Lausanne, testing her patience, pacing, and confirmed thatshe belongs out there and she can handle tough conditions. Now, with OCC weeks away, Eva’s training is about more than fitness. It’s about specificity, strategy, and self-trust. Weeks are thoughtfully composed, never crammed. A mix of precision mountain and speed efforts, and strength work focused on resilience and stability. Eva is not chasing volume for volume sake. She’s building durability, learning to run efficiently, descend confidently, and keep moving through fatigue. She’s testing too: increasing fueling to +70 gr/hr and layering heat training into routine.

Meanwhile, Eva is managing a busy job, active family live, and the desire to not let running become a to-do. She wants it to remain what it has been at its best: a space of freedom and a source of joy. Coaching with Eva doesn’t mean laying down strict workouts; it means sparring ideas, listening to her instincts, shaping each day to fit the whole human. It means tracking fatigue, tuning into niggles, adjusting without apology. A camper van holiday in Europe? An opportunity: mountain volume, techy play, reenergizing and life in motion. Eva’s goal for OCC isn’t a place on the leaderboard. It’s to arrive at the start line feeling fit and ready to meet the day with curiosity and courage. To climb steady, descend freely, and let the smiles and miles unfold; with the capacity to inhabit the experience fully, even when it gets hard, and find lightness in the middle of the Alps. When Eva’s fitness meets the mindset and mountains, the magic will follow.
