Adriana Moser's journey into running began in 2018, after overcoming some challenging times in her life. Following a period of mental and physical recovery, she felt ready to embrace sports. She signed up for her first marathon, the Jungfrau Marathon, in September 2018, and completed her first 100k in 2019.
Adriana is a certified coach, sports nutritionist, and strength trainer. She is known for her discipline and hard work, qualities that have helped her overcome her lack of a sports background. Despite not being genetically gifted, she refuses to believe that anything is impossible for her. Having endured significant hardships in her past, Adriana views her current life as a second chance. She is determined to soak up nature and run wild and free, with performance being the cherry on top.
Her motivation to train comes naturally, as she focuses on long-term goals rather than short-term pleasures. Adriana's biggest strength is her mental resilience and her "iron stomach," which helps her push through tough conditions. She runs to understand herself and the world better, to embrace her flaws, and to focus on who she wants to become.
Why Altra?
I started running with Altra in 2020 as I was looking for a zero-drop shoe. I appreciate Altra's minimalist and back-to-nature style, which aligns with my beliefs.
What's your favourite Altra Shoe?
For the road, it's definitely the Torin. Ever since I did a few 70k training runs on them and had zero issues, even after pounding so much on the hard surface, I trust them 100%. For the trail, I love the Mont Blanc Carbon. They're fast, responsive, and no matter how dark it is, I can trust my feet in these shoes on the trails, which is amazing.
Adriana's story is one of resilience, determination, and a deep connection with nature. She continues to inspire others through her coaching and her own running journey.
