Podcast Guest “It's a long road” is the runner and coach Andreas Vrontos. Andreas is a 2002 graduate of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, specializing in athletics coaching and indoor sports activities.
He was an athletics athlete with important distinctions from 1990 to 2000, and he is the initiator and founder of "Outdoor Games", a company organizing outdoor activities, within which he also maintains a running team since 2016, the Outdoor Games Running Team.
As part of his continuous training, he has been a certified Fitness Professional & Personal Trainer since 2003, holder of degrees from the largest Fitness training organizations in Greece and abroad, while he has also worked as a Ski instructor.
When he is not on the road or on the mountain for a run, Andreas works every day and trains his trainees, in his two personal professional training spaces, My House Training Studio, and Balanze Pilates in N.Psyhiko.
With Andreas Vrontos we will have an interesting discussion, since we will approach running for beginner runners who want to get involved for the first time but do not know how to start, what are the stages they should follow, but also on other equally interesting topics that concern all amateur runners.
