Off the track, Méline Rollin brings a very down-to-earth approach to high performance: building her shape patiently, staying consistent, week after week. In marathon preparation, she isn’t afraid of big training blocks, with peak weeks around 170 km and an average close to 150 km. She also shares a lot about recovery and nutrition, with the goal of doing things properly and sustaining the work over time. Alongside KIPRUN, she moves forward in the same spirit: seriousness, consistency, and the desire to build something solid together.
