About me

Alexis Sancilio

I’m Alexis: made in South Italy, based in Budapest. Mechanical engineer, endurance athlete and Certified Lydiard® Level II Running Coach, coaching runners in Hungary and abroad.

By day I lead a team of 20 project managers in the automotive industry. I know what it means to fit training around meetings, travel and family, because that’s how I train too. I bring the same approach to coaching: structured, data-driven, and built around your real week.

Since my first 10K at the SPAR Budapest Marathon in 2022 I’ve raced on road, trail, mountain and obstacle courses in four countries, from 5K to mountain ultras like the High Atlas Ultra in Morocco and Puglia by UTMB. In January 2026 I designed the Budapest stage for an Italian friend running 50 km in 50 countries, and ran it with him. I’m also a national basketball referee with over 15 years of experience in Italy and Hungary.
