Your Running University - Head Coach

Coach Dimitris

I was born near the Panathenaic Stadium, the historic Kallimarmaro—the first Olympic Stadium of the modern era and the finish line of the Athens Authentic Marathon. My journey in sport led me to study Physical Education and Sport Science at Democritus University of Thrace, followed by two postgraduate degrees in the field of sport. Today, I coach runners of all levels and across all distances from 17 different countries, with the goal of turning scientific knowledge into practical, personalized training. If you would like to join my team, you can contact me at jimkiriak@gmail.com.
