Team Thornsson
Personalized, science-based coaching for runners balancing work, family, and ambitious goals.
Being coached by Thornsson Performance means you’re not just an athlete following a training plan—you’re a person first, who also happens to be an athlete.
You have a busy life, responsibilities, and commitments beyond running. That’s why we help you fit your running goals into your everyday life, rather than asking your life to revolve around your training. We build a training program around you—not just your target race time.
Your running doesn’t happen in a silo, and your training shouldn’t either.
We work together as coach and athlete in a two-way feedback loop. Through ongoing communication, we adapt and refine your training along the way, helping you reach your full potential while enjoying the process.

I am born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden, but have spent several years living in the United States and South Africa.
I was always an active kid, playing team sports until I was 19 years old and moved to the United States to attend college. There, I joined the school’s running team, and I’ve been a runner ever since.
Over the years, I have navigated running through many different stages of life and competed in races ranging from the 800m to ultramarathons.
Today, I live in Gothenburg with my husband and our two children.

PERFORMANCE
I started Thornsson Performance to help more runners navigate their running journey through the different stages of life.
Running can be incredibly rewarding when training is adapted to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all program. That’s when we can maximize our potential while enjoying the process to the fullest.
Maximizing your potential isn’t just about setting personal bests. It’s about training safely, using science-based principles, and adapting the journey to your fitness level, goals, and everyday life.
Most importantly, it’s about having fun along the way.
