About
Hello, I'm João Mota.
The passion for running and especially for trail running emerges in an overwhelming way. I have a vast knowledge about the science of training, the practice of the modality and its basic organization. I am managing the Strendure - Coaching project, I have a group of 72 athletes who follow my guidelines for the practice of Trail Running, Road Running, Triathlon, Endurance Swimming and Bodybuilding. I was national champion for teams in Trail Ultra and Trail Ultra Endurance in the years 2013 / 2014 / 2015 and in these years I ranked in the top ten athletes of my age group in Ultra and Endurance distances. I have an absolute passion for endurance having already successfully participated in several reference events: Tor des Geants 350, 3x Eufória del Cims, Ronda del Cims, 7x Madeira Island Ultra Trail 115, 2x Val D'Aran by UTMB, Ehunmilak Ultra Trail, 2x Transgrancanaria 125, Ultra Trail Sierra Nevada, Donana Ultra Trail, Ultra Trail Atlas Troubkal, Ultra Trail Serra de São Mamede, Ultra Trail Aldeias de Xisto, Peneda Gerês Trail Adventure, 2x Estrela Grande Trail, 4x Azores Trail Run, 2x Azores Triangle Adventure , Columbus Grande Trail, Azores Trail Run Blue Island Ultra Trail, Eco Madeira Ultra Marathon, 2x Azores Trail Run - Grande Rota dos Baleeiros, TransPeneda do Gerês 80, Ultra Trail Serra do Marão 105, among others. I was also involved in the organization of events such as the Sesimbra Ultra Trail and later as a member of the advisory board of the Associação de Trail Running de Portugal - ATRP and later elected as a member of the board of the same association, a position I held for 3 years. During this period, I launched what is now known as the National Trail, Trail Ultra and Trail Ultra Endurance Championships, and accompanied the first national trail team. During this period I became certified as a Sports Manager in training provided by the Portuguese Athletics Federation - FPA and started my coaching practice with the Athletics Coach Course Grade 1 in the specialty of resistance training practice. At the same time, I got certified in Sports Mental Coaching and trained in NLP - Neurolinguistic Programming.
