ARTHUR JOYEUX BOUILLON | PRO TRAIL RUNNER

Born in Grenoble, France, the young 25 year old grew up participating in several mountain sports. From Skiing to climbing and mountain biking, he fell in love with trail running after taking on his first race in 2013. He has now stepped up to Ultra distance and has already proven he has the talent to fight with some of the best in the sport. This year he is also in training to become a Mountain Rescue Guide.

Why do you run?
I have always loved sport and the taste of the hard effort! I run in the mountains because I like the feeling that it gives me. It is the biggest sporting field you can find. I feel free and I can go wherever I want. There are no limits !!!

When you're not running, what else are you into?
The rare days when I’m not running, I go cycling, hiking or do some stretching. I don’t like to do nothing so almost everyday I am out enjoying nature.

What is your biggest goal to achieve in the sport?

I have already achieved many of my goals in trail running, but the biggest would be to participate and finish all the greatest Ultra Trail races in the world! Why not win some of them too? You have to believe in your dreams :)

Why Compressport?

Compressport is more than a sports brand for me. The slogan "Wherever your race we support you"is so true! It's a team of passionate people who strive to produce the best products. The goal is to offer even more efficient products to all of us. Athletes are part of the creation of the products to make them better. The Compressport team is always interested in our opinion when we are testing new products...I love that! As an athlete I really feel part of the brand, and personally they support me every day in my sport which helps me to progress. I really feel into a ̈sport family¨ at Compressport!

What is your favourite product from Compressport and why?

If I need to choose only one favorite product, which is hard because I love some of them, I will say the Trail Running Under Control short. Why? Because the compression on the legs is perfect. It stays in place during all your running and protects your legs, while also making you feel free.
