About me

I'm Jaka Marinko, an endurance athlete, a student at the Faculty of Sport and a personal trainer who specialises in preparing athletes for endurance sports.

Sport has been part of my everyday life since I was a child. Years of racing at the top junior level gave me experience that I now combine with current sports science, to help others improve faster and more safely.

As a multiple junior national champion in ski mountaineering, cross-country skiing, roller skiing and mountain running, I've learned what it takes to reach top results.

My measured VO₂max is 80 ml/kg/min.

I'm especially proud of 5th place at Red Bull 400 Planica, where I set the fastest time among the juniors.

Today I build on that practical experience with my studies at the Faculty of Sport, going deeper into physiology, biomechanics, training methodology and sport psychology.

I believe the best results don't happen by chance. They come from careful planning, consistency and an individual approach.
