I live in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Half of my heart belongs to cities, the other half belongs to mountains.

My love for trails comes from spending holidays in the mountain Romanija in Bosnia where I used to go hiking with my grandparents. I was always a sports person, but never dared to think seriously about sports. Until my late twenties, when I discovered running as a great vehicle to overcome my insecurities. I failed my first race due to overtraining and getting inguinal hernia, but next year I came back twice stronger for a full 42k Belgrade Marathon in 2017. Soon enough I registered for a mountain 100k race in my father’s homeland mountains in Bosnia, and that’s how I got myself on this amazing journey.

My favorite trail in the whole world is the ridge of Visocica mountain in Bosnia where my favorite ultramarathon Vucko trail takes place, but as I explore new mountains things are getting complicated…so this answer may change soon!

My favorite guilty pleasure is cevapi  – a grilled dish of minced meat found traditionally in the Balkan countries – Southeastern Europe.

Listen to your body to stay consistent. 

No heroic workouts, as one workout doesn’t change much for the better or worse. 

The mix of various workouts and decisions over the years changed everything. Time to be a hero is in the race when you give your all. Add bits of empathy, belief, and dear people, and there you have a satisfied individual with an amazing lifestyle.

I’ve been a passionate student of trail running for years as I needed the knowledge for my own running. Two years ago my friend invited me to change her as a coach in her gym, and that turned into getting a NASM certificate for a personal coach. I’ve been official since.
