Pawel Cymbalista

Hi my name is Paweł Cymbalista. I started running after I moved to Scotland in 2013. I joined a local Lochaber Athletic Club in Fort William, as I didn’t know how to go about my training I slowly started getting some structure. Now after many years I became a coach and a competitive runner, that followed forming a partnership with Dynafit and Teko Eco-Performance. My first ultra race was in 2019 and I haven’t stopped there. I completed many long distance routes in a record time learning along the way. I gained a lot of love and passion to the sport. Having a background in ultra running I have the experience and knowledge about training, mental resilience, nutrition and equipment that is required to finish an ultra race. I acquired UKA CIRF – Certificate in Running Fitness in 2017, followed by UKA AC – Athletics Certificate in 2018. In February 2024 I obtained UESCA Ultra Running Coach Certification. I believe the experience and knowledge I have will help you reach new heights and peak performance.
