Podcast Guest “It's a long road” is the runner and coach Giorgos Loufekis. Giorgos is an active runner of short and long distances in the mountains and on the asphalt terrain, trying the ultra-distances in recent years, with many distinctions to his credit.

We will have an interesting discussion with Giorgos Loufekis, since he will tell us his own coaching concept and approach he has for his athletes and running in general and will analyze the criteria we must have and deal with our fellow athletes, the coaches and the field in general in order to improve.
