Lomada Raju

The journey

From chasing medals to building champions.

He raced for more than thirteen years, collecting national and state medals on the track. Then he turned that experience into coaching: strength, speed and durability for athletes on the sport’s biggest stages.

Every program starts with the athlete: the sport, the calendar, and the body in front of him.
