When I first started training with Ivana and Racecraft, I barely had the confidence to run 5 km without feeling burnt out and worried about injuries. Fast forward two years, and I’m not just injury-free—I’m strong and confidently running distances I never thought possible, like 60-70km trails. Working with Ivana has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Her coaching goes beyond just the physical; she prepares you mentally and emotionally for any challenge, whether it’s your first 5K or a grueling 100K. What sets Racecraft apart is their unparalleled scientific and technical knowledge of running—these coaches don’t just talk the talk, they run the run. They help you discover potential you didn’t even know you had, all while fostering a deep love for the magic of running and building an incredible, supportive community around you. If you’re serious about pushing your limits and finding joy in the journey, this is where you want to be.

Ivana, thank you for taking my passion for sports to the next level five years ago. I've been inspired by a coach who doesn't believe in limits, who thinks everything is possible, and who is hard and disciplined while also being loving and caring.From Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) to Ultrarunning UTMB adventures, every day under Ivana's guidance, I achieved my goals, even in middle age at 51 years old.Ivana's support extends beyond physical preparation; she also has a strong knowledge of nutrition and psychological patterns at every stage of life. Under her guidance, you're never alone and are always under supervision. Her running program is unique and personalized for each athlete. Preparing for a race is a team effort with Ivana, from pre-race planning and training (runs, tempo runs, hills, long runs, track, intervals, and running camps),  during the race, strategies and nutrition approach, post-race recovery workouts and tools for feeling good faster. Since joining Ivana's running program, I feel 100% prepared for races and always complete them in good shape.  If one is considering starting or improving running, Ivana is the best coach ever.💜💜💜🥇

Ivana has been an exceptional running coach for the past three years, guiding me through numerous races, including the prestigious Tokyo, London, and Paris marathons, as well as countless half marathons. Her coaching style is characterized by a deep understanding of both the physical and mental aspects of running, which has been instrumental in helping me overcome significant mental barriers. From our very first session, it was clear that Ivana is not just a coach but also an empathetic mentor. She takes the time to understand each athlete's unique challenges and tailors her approach accordingly. Her ability to listen and provide personalized feedback has been crucial in building my confidence. Whenever I faced self-doubt or anxiety before a race, Ivana was there to offer encouragement and practical strategies to help me refocus and stay motivated. One of the standout moments in our journey together was preparing for the Tokyo Marathon. The emotional weight of this race, being part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, added pressure, but Ivana helped me channel that energy positively. Her structured training plans, combined with mental conditioning techniques, allowed me to approach the race with a clear mind and a strong spirit. I finished the marathon not only successfully but also with a sense of accomplishment that I had previously thought unattainable. Ivana's fierce competitive spirit is another aspect that inspires me. As a runner herself, she leads by example, demonstrating what it means to be dedicated and resilient. Her passion for the sport is infectious, motivating her athletes to push their limits. This combination of empathy and competitiveness creates an environment where I feel supported yet challenged to excel. In summary, Ivana has been a transformative force in my running journey. Her empathetic coaching style, coupled with her own fierce competitive nature, has helped me break through mental barriers and achieve success in marathons and half marathons alike. I am immensely grateful for her guidance and look forward to continuing this journey with her by my side.
