I get up fairly early to coach for about an hour earlier than I am going to the workplace. We now have a hybrid mannequin at Mintos, so we do business from home 3 days every week and go to the workplace for the opposite 2. On workplace days, I prepare by going for a run round city. I’m coaching for a 60 km long-distance ultramarathon, which usually takes place in rugged terrain with numerous mountains. I’ve accomplished 5 ultramarathons and a 107 km race, a famend highway race in Riga.

My favourite place to coach is in Sigulda, a city not removed from Riga, with loads of lovely forest trails. I attempt to prepare right here no less than as soon as every week. Whereas the steepest incline maxes out at 80 m, climbing it 10–18 occasions is very efficient.

Once I get house from coaching, I’m very hungry. I attempt to get in protein and substance for breakfast, so I am going with one thing like oatmeal, however it varies daily. Then I rapidly prepare for work. At 8:00, I bike to the workplace.
