Among KeForma’s athletes is the marathon runner Danilo Goffi
who has participated at many European, World and Olympic competitions reaching
important results. We asked Danilo if he could tell us a bit more about his
sport career…
When did you start? What is your relationship with running and
what have been the best results achieved so far?
I started running 1987,
being slender in appearance, no football team would consider my enrollment so
that is when many of my friends advised me to start athletics and I decided to
join them. My passion for running become stronger and stronger thanks to the
good results I was able to reach starting from Junior categories.
The
following are my bed performances:
Junior European 10000 m. Champion;
Runner-up during the European Budapest marathon; Gold World trophy at the
Seville team marathon; Two-time winner of the Eruopean trophy team marathon;
Winner of the Venice and Turin marathons; Four-time Italian Champion; Two-time
winner at the master category (over 40) New York marathon and winner at the
master category (over 40) Boston marathon; 9th place at the Atlanta Olympics;
4th place at the World Marathon Championships of Athens; 5th place at the World
Marathon Championships of Seville.
Is there are race you remember with
fondness?
Yes, the marathon during the 1998 Budapest European Championships
when I won the gold medal.
And one that you would like to forget about?
There are many that I would like to forget, but I try not too because defeats
have their degree of importance in helping us grow and become stronger during
difficult moments.
What are your future goals?
After retiring from my
career as a professional athlete I became a coach and at present I am working on
enlarging my athletics corporation.
How is your day organized?
During
the mornings I work in the office, in the afternoons I compile training
schedules for those who I follow, I take care of the technical aspects of my
athletics corporation (almostthere), I train on the pitch and if there is any
time left I go running.
Running and supplements, What are the main aspects
to be considered on these topics?
I think supplements are very important
for those who practice sports. It’s important to identify products that allow
athletes to fully recover their muscular strength, to reach a balanced hydration
and products that sustain their energy levels.
How did you get to know
KeForma and why did you choose our supplement products?
I got to know
KeForma when I became a professional athlete. Collaborating with KeForma has
given me the possibility to know their products better in every detail.
Is
there a KeForma product that you cannot do without?
I could not do without
branched-chain amino acids ideal for muscle recovery.
