Riikka Tulppo's trail running coaching is geared towards the Kainuu Trail trail running event in Hossa on June 29, 2024. In this course, participants can choose any running distance as their goal for the Kainuu Trail trail running event - 10, 21, 38, 55, or 78 kilometers. The trail running coaching is conducted as remote coaching, allowing participation from almost anywhere.
Jukka Liuha, the race director of Kainuu Trail trail running, excitedly shares that this fall, discussions with Riikka Tulppo led to the realization of this trail running coaching group in collaboration for next summer's trail running event in Hossa.
- Riikka contacted us during the fall, and it quickly became apparent that this could be a delightful new service for the coming summer, offering enjoyable and positive communal activities along with trail running preparation tips for trail runners, Liuha recalls the early stages of the collaboration.
Wellness coach Riikka Tulppo provides diverse exercise and well-being services in her work, including individual coaching, camps, and workplace well-being services.
- Nature exercise, trail running, running, cross-country skiing, and forest yoga are particularly close to my heart. I also provide coaching on the mental aspect, serving as a life coach, Tulppo explains.
