Renée

Hello!!! I am Renée Cardinaals, 28 years old and have a passion for running. I use Tailwind for all my races and long workouts and it always works great. That’s why this is my third year in a row as a Trailblazer.

I train mainly for long distances in the mountains, but am also not averse to popping a hard 10 kilometers on the road once in a while. In general, I like variety in my training, which is why I like to be on a road or mountain bike.

Over the past few years, I have learned a lot about the importance of energy and salt refueling during workouts/competitions. This has in part allowed me to get more out of my workouts and I cross the finish line less empty. When it comes to races, I am super driven and always want to get the most out of myself.

So this year I am specifically focusing on some big races: the Tarawera Ultra Marathon (New Zealand), Ultra Trail Australia (Australia), Lavaredo Ultra Trail (Italy) and the Trans Alpine Run (Austria/Switzerland/Italy).

I enjoy getting to know other trail runners and sharing my experiences, so if you run into me along the way; feel free to talk to me!
