ΔέσεWhy I created Δέσε Κορδόνια
Running came into my life almost by accident — and I never let it go.
I'm not a professional coach or a nutritionist. I'm a person who runs, reads, researches and shares what she learns. I did think about coaching once, but in the end programming won me over. That's how Δέσε Κορδόνια became my way of bringing together two things I love: technology and running.
The goal of Δέσε Κορδόνια is to help mainly amateur runners understand their training better and find reliable information without complicated jargon. Alongside articles on the science, nutrition and everyday life of running, the site also offers practical tools — pace and heart-rate zone calculators, a race map, and the option to save your favourite articles. Little by little, I'd like it to become a useful reference point for the Greek runner.
Running didn't just become a hobby for me. It helped me change my habits, face difficulties — among them my migraines — and see everyday life with more optimism. I wanted to share that experience with more people — and that's how this website was born. If I manage to inspire someone even a little through it, this page has achieved its goal.
There's one more reason I created this page. I too was once a person searching for guidance to improve as a runner without having to pay a coach. Since running is a hobby for me and not a profession, I wanted to build a place where that guidance is free and easy to access.
