ALISY SPORT Team

Eva Filipiová

Running - Šumperk

I work as a physiotherapist, and sport is an essential part of my life. Besides running, I play competitive floorball, enjoy cycling and cross-country skiing, and also play volleyball.

In athletics, I compete for AK Olymp Brno, which I joined after moving from TJ Šumperk to gain new experience. I aim for the best possible results both on the track – particularly in the 3,000 m steeplechase – and on the road, mainly in the half marathon and marathon. I have also won my first national championship medals in these disciplines.

For me, however, sport should not be only about chasing medals. Above all, it should bring joy.

František Soukup

Cycling - Trhové Sviny

Sport and nature have always been among my greatest interests. My main activity is mountain biking, whether racing or simply riding forest roads and trails.

For me, cycling is not only about performance. It is above all about being outdoors and enjoying the freedom that comes with riding a bike.

Jakub Skalka

Triathlon - Praha

My father introduced me to sport almost as soon as I could walk. Skiing came first, followed by cycling and later running. During my studies, I focused mainly on running and competed regularly. When injuries began to hold me back, I bought a bike and gradually added another discipline to my training.

Later, I started swimming as well, and in 2017 I completed my first triathlon. That opened a new chapter. Since then, I have taken part in winter triathlons, the World Championships in Andorra and XTERRA races, including the World Championship in Molveno, Italy.

What I enjoy most about triathlon is its variety, the new challenges and the places the sport takes me.

Jan Čížek

Running - Liberec

Sport is an essential part of my life. I started with competitive swimming, which I pursued for eight years before discovering triathlon. I raced distances ranging from sprint triathlons to the demanding Ironman 70.3, but over time running became my greatest passion.

Today, I compete over distances from 1,500 metres to the half marathon. My personal bests include 9:18 for 3,000 m and 16:26 for 5,000 m.

For me, running is not just a sport but also a way to clear my mind and an important part of my lifestyle. I train under coach Václav Novotný and am always looking for ways to keep improving.

Jitka Špičáková

Running - Olomouc

I started running at university when I needed a way to switch off between studying. At first, it was just one short lap around the house, but gradually running became an essential part of my life.

I run for the great feeling it gives me, for the people I meet at races and for the opportunity to challenge myself and pursue my dreams. At the same time, running gives me valuable time to myself.

I am a mother of two and simply need movement in my life. I also enjoy swimming, cycling and cross-country skiing, but running remains my greatest passion.

Karel Jirák

Triathlon - Stráž pod Ralskem

I love being active outdoors. As a child, I enjoyed hiking and playing sports with friends, and later cycling became my main activity. I only started competing seriously after turning thirty, when I discovered inline skating. Gradually, I made it onto the podium at the Czech Championships and finished second in the pairs category at the legendary 24-hour race in Le Mans.

After ten racing seasons, I was looking for a new challenge and found it in triathlon and duathlon. Off-road racing is closest to my heart, although I also enjoy road triathlons. I compete over a variety of distances, from sprint events to long-distance triathlon.

I have won ten Czech Championship medals in my age group, including four golds. But health and the enjoyment of sport remain the most important things to me.

Kateřina Mlčochová

Triathlon - Prague

I only started taking sport more seriously after the birth of my second daughter. What began as running for enjoyment gradually developed into regular training and racing. I continue to work on improving my personal bests in the marathon and half marathon, while also enjoying smaller local races.

In 2018, I added swimming and road cycling to my running and entered my first Ironman 70.3. I later became Czech and Slovak long-distance triathlon champion in my age group.

Sport gives me energy, helps me manage everyday life and is also a great way to relax. One of the greatest things it has given me is the many people I have met through running and triathlon.

Kateřina Ondrušík

Triathlon - Paseka u Šternberka

Exercise became an important part of my life after I turned thirty. In my younger years, I played competitive volleyball and later tried fitness, aerobics and Zumba, but eventually running captured my interest the most. My first races followed, along with new routes, experiences and many new friendships.

Triathlon was the natural next step. For a long time, I lacked the courage to stand on the start line because I had always seen triathletes as incredibly tough athletes. Once I finally tried it, I discovered another sporting passion.

My husband is a huge source of support, motivating me and helping me combine sport with our large family. For my 40th birthday, he even organised a running race for me – PaseKačka.run.

I enjoy motivating other people to be active, and I believe it is never too late to start doing something for yourself.

Katrin Sásová

Triathlon - Šternberk

I come from the foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains, and sport has been my passion since childhood. I competed in athletics for fifteen years, mainly in sprint events. Later, I wanted to discover other sports and began cycling and swimming more.

Then I decided to try triathlon. I finished second in my very first race – and that was enough to get me hooked. I began entering more events and finished my first triathlon season with third place in my age group at the Czech Duathlon Championships.

I work as a PE and biology teacher, so sport is part of both my professional and personal life. I want to keep improving, gaining experience and, above all, enjoying racing.

Lenka Gruškovská

Cycling - Hluboká nad Vltavou

I had ridden bikes since childhood, but my real passion for cycling developed during family rides. As the children grew older, my enthusiasm for cycling only became stronger. Eventually, I entered my first mountain bike race, followed by more races and my first competitive successes.

Over time, I also discovered the appeal of road cycling. The bike became not only a way to exercise but also a way to relax and clear my head.

I live in South Bohemia with my husband and our two daughters. My family supports my cycling and gives me tremendous encouragement. I want to keep improving, but above all I want to continue enjoying every ride.

Lucie Vikartovská

Running - Karlovice

I run on roads and trails, preferably in the Jeseníky Mountains and around Praděd. I write about running and try to motivate both beginners and experienced runners. I also enjoy photography and inspiring other athletes.

I am determined and persistent, so for me the words “I can’t” simply do not exist.

My motto is: “The journey itself can be the destination.”

Lukáš Hradecký

Running - Teplice

I enjoy being active and sport in almost all its forms. I have also encouraged my children to be active from an early age, so we often attend races and sporting events or simply spend time together outdoors. For me, exercise should not be only about performance but also about experiences and discovering something new.

Running has become an important part of my life and has also helped me manage my type 1 diabetes better. Gradually, I became completely hooked. After my first races, I started setting myself specific goals and new challenges.

I am an enthusiast who loves trying new things. That makes me appreciate my wife even more – she supports me while also keeping some of my crazier ideas grounded.

Lukáš Kopecký

Running - Aš

My father introduced me to sport when I was a child, and physical activity gradually became an essential part of my life. Today, I focus mainly on endurance running over distances of up to 10 km.

I work as a strength and conditioning coach, so I combine my running preparation with strength training. At races, I always try to deliver my best performance, while through my work I also aim to motivate as many people as possible to become more active.

I am also a father of two and have a wonderful wife who supports me in everything I do.

Lukáš Pulgret

Cycling - Tišnov

Cycling is my passion, a sense of freedom and the best way to clear my head.

I discovered the beauty of cycling while I was still at school, when I particularly enjoyed trails and downhill riding. Gradually, I became more involved in mountain biking and entered my first races in 2012. I now compete in around fifteen races each year.

You will most often find me in the forests around Tišnov or Pardubice, but I also enjoy travelling with friends to ride in the Alps, the Dolomites, the Jeseníky Mountains or Spain.

I have completed a cycling coaching course and still enjoy pushing my limits. My goal is to become a better version of myself – both on and off the bike.

Lukáš Trapp

Triathlon - Karlovy Vary

I started sport as a child at a swimming club in Karlovy Vary. I competed in swimming until I was fifteen and, thanks to my family’s sporting background, I also spent a lot of time cycling. Triathlon was therefore a natural progression.

I competed in Czech sprint triathlon series and XTERRA races. During university, however, health problems forced me to stop competitive sport, followed by a long break.

In 2022, I decided to return to structured training and chose triathlon once again. Combining my work as a teacher, family life with two children and regular training is not always easy, but planning and finding the right balance are part of what makes the challenge enjoyable.

Today, triathlon is not just about results for me. Above all, it motivates me to stay active, challenge myself and keep setting new goals.

Marek Vajbar

Cycling - Nový Jičín

I am a father of two, a technical director and a passionate cyclist. Although I have achieved some good results in road racing, I feel most at home on a mountain bike or gravel bike.

I regularly take part in local races and have achieved several podium finishes. My greatest successes, however, are away from the racecourse – having a happy family and being able to combine sport with everyday life.

Cycling gives me joy, freedom and the balance I need in a busy life.

Martin Turčan

Running - České Budějovice

I have loved sport since childhood. From the age of five until twenty, I played competitive football in my hometown of Tisovec, and running has been part of my life ever since.

Several times a year, I compete in races in České Budějovice and Slovakia. I run mainly for enjoyment, although a good result is always welcome and gives me extra motivation. I enjoy challenging myself, and my family is a great source of support.

What I like most about running is that nobody really loses. Anyone who goes for a run – whether in training or in a race – has already done something positive for themselves.

Martina Bradáčová

Running - Lubná u Rakovníka

I started running in autumn 2012 as a way to take a break from work and everyday responsibilities. The following spring, I entered my first race and found the motivation to take running more seriously.

I compete over distances from 5 km to the marathon and train regularly under coach Petr Donner. I still enjoy running and remain motivated to explore how far I can push my abilities.

My personal bests are 3:12:30 for the marathon, 1:29:20 for the half marathon and 40:50 for 10 km.

Michaela Cvejnová

Running - Kounov

Movement and an active lifestyle are a natural part of my life. I work as a teacher at a secondary medical school and as a nutritional therapist in a hospital.

Besides running, I love walking and hiking. I am also a Jumping and Kangoo Jumps instructor and organise active weekends and extended training sessions for my clients.

Running has been part of different stages of my life with varying intensity, but gradually it has become one of the activities I simply cannot imagine living without.

Miroslav Balatka

Running - Rádlo

I come from a family with a strong cross-country skiing tradition. My aunt Helena Šikolová won an Olympic medal in Sapporo, while my father and uncle both stood on the podium at the Jizerská 50 several times. It is therefore no surprise that cross-country skiing was my first sport.

Later, I moved into biathlon and became a member of the Czech junior national team. My biggest achievements include fifth and sixth place in the European Cup, two appearances at the Summer Biathlon World Championships and two Winter Universiades. I have also won Czech Championship titles in several age categories, including at senior level. I still compete in biathlon today, now successfully in the masters category.

Running has always been part of my training. Over time, I also developed a passion for road racing and achieved my best times after turning thirty: 34:16 for 10 km, 1:16:22 for the half marathon and 2:52:07 for the marathon.

For me, running is primarily a way to clear my mind. My main motto is simple: “Never give up!”

Miroslav Horák

Running - Rumburk

Running has brought me countless experiences, friendships and inspiration. I also enjoy climbing and swimming, but running remains my greatest sporting passion.

I enjoy a wide variety of distances, from shorter races of up to 10 km to ultramarathons and long mountain crossings. My adventures have included routes across Mallorca, the Owl Mountains and the Low Tatras, as well as the Peaks of the Balkans trail. Every such journey challenges me both physically and mentally.

I also really enjoy relay races because of the team spirit and the shared experience.

For me, running is much more than sport. It is about discovering new places, pushing my limits and meeting people who share the same passion.

Miroslava Košecová

Cycling - Křemže

I live near Český Krumlov at the foot of Mount Kleť, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Blanský les.

My parents encouraged me to be active from an early age. I competed in rowing and won medals at the Czech Championships.

I truly discovered cycling after taking part in a charity bike race. Since then, cycling has become my passion and an important part of my lifestyle.

Natálie Trnková

Triathlon - Roudnice nad Labem

My parents and grandparents encouraged me to be active from an early age. I tried many different sports, but at the age of ten I discovered competitive swimming, which I continued until I was eighteen.

After taking a break from sport, I began to miss both exercise and the atmosphere of competition. I tried running races and eventually discovered triathlon almost by accident. I borrowed a bike and simply decided to give it a go.

The combination of three disciplines immediately appealed to me. I started with cross triathlon and gradually added road triathlons as well. The variety is exactly what I enjoy most about the sport.

Besides triathlon, I enjoy volleyball and climbing, while in winter I go cross-country skiing and ski touring.

Ondřej Brokeš

Triathlon - Poříčí nad Sázavou

I have loved sport since childhood, always looking for new challenges and ways to push my limits. For many years, I played football, which taught me competitiveness, hard work and team spirit.

Triathlon eventually became my next challenge – and the sport in which I really found myself. I also enjoy duathlon, cross-country and downhill skiing, ski touring and team sports.

Through my approach to sport, I hope to motivate others not only to achieve better results but, above all, to develop a positive relationship with exercise and an active lifestyle.

Ondřej Hudec

Running - Jezeřany-Maršovice

I live in a small wine-growing village in South Moravia, I am a father of two and I enjoy almost every form of physical activity. Running is my priority, but I also enjoy working out, cycling and spending time outdoors.

You will most often find me at running events in South Moravia, particularly races up to 10 km. For variety, however, I also enjoy longer distances up to the half marathon.

I have achieved several podium finishes, and running also led me to become a member of the ALISY SPORT Team. My goal is to keep improving my times, push my own limits and, most importantly, continue enjoying racing.

Petr Hostička

Cycling - Pelhřimov

I only became more active in sport thanks to my children. Our daughter introduced the whole family to Olympic WT Taekwondo, which gradually became a real passion. I achieved 2nd Dan and also became an active referee.

At first, I mainly used cycling to improve my fitness, but over time my training moved from the gym to the bike trails. Today, I enjoy mountain bike racing, discovering new places and pushing my limits.

My racing motto is: “Get to the finish as fast as possible – but above all, get there safe and healthy.”

Petr Strnad

Triathlon - Hrádek n.N.

I do sport because I love freedom and being active. My love of mountains and sport runs in the family. As a child, I played tennis, later moved on to skateboarding and snowboarding, and eventually became passionate about mountain biking.

I completed numerous MTB marathons and enjoyed not only the riding itself but also the community of people who shared the same passion. Over time, I discovered road cycling and cross triathlon as well.

I became Czech vice-champion in my age group in cross triathlon, finished sixth at the XTERRA European Championship in Prachatice and also competed at the XTERRA World Championship in Molveno, Italy.

What gives me the greatest satisfaction, however, is every race I finish and every personal improvement. For me, sport should above all be enjoyable – regardless of the level at which you compete.

Radka Skalická

Triathlon - Olomouc

Sport has been an essential part of my life since childhood. I am also a mother and work for the Czech Customs Administration, where physical fitness is an important part of my job.

I have tried many sports, from gymnastics, basketball and volleyball to mountain biking. Cycling eventually became my favourite, and I achieved several good results, including competing at the World Cup in Nové Město na Moravě.

I share my passion for cycling with my husband, who also introduced me to ski touring. After my daughter was born, I started running more, and gradually triathlon began to appeal to me because it combines the three sports I enjoy most.

Tereza Korhoňová

Running - Mostkovice

I come from a small village near Prostějov, and sport has been an inseparable part of my life since childhood.

From an early age through to junior level, I focused mainly on athletics. I won several medals at the Czech Championships and also represented the Czech Republic at an international competition in Poland.

Later, I decided to take my sporting career in a new direction and began focusing on triathlon and long-distance running. I do not yet know where this journey will take me, but I still have plenty of goals I would like to achieve.

Tereza Kulštejnová

Cycling - Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem

Cycling has been my passion since I was twelve, when I received the mountain bike I had always wanted as a reward for my school results. My first rides were with my mother, but later I began riding on my own and gradually built up to thousands of kilometres per season.

I live in the heart of the Beskydy Mountains, so if I want to enjoy a descent, I first have to earn it by climbing. Eventually, I also started racing, and my first events immediately showed me how much I enjoyed the competitive side of cycling.

Alongside mountain biking, I have also developed a passion for road cycling. In winter, I run and ski, and I have completed the LH24 24-hour winter mountain race several times.

Sport is both a lifestyle and a way to relax for me. My husband is a great source of support – he looks after the bikes and helps me combine sport with family life.

Tomáš Smolicha

Running - Nový Malín

I completed my first running race as a child together with my father, and running has been part of my life ever since.

I run primarily for the enjoyment of movement, fitness and the sense of freedom it gives me. I like discovering new routes, races and training methods, and my running shoes almost always come with me when I travel.

I work as a PE teacher at a primary school and try to show my pupils that physical activity can be a natural and enjoyable part of everyday life.

For me, running is not just about results. It is a way to discover new places, clear my head and keep finding new challenges.

Tomáš Tvaroužek

Cycling - Nová Role

Sport has been part of my life since childhood. I played ice hockey, tennis and floorball, but cycling and skiing were always there as well. I started on a mountain bike, entered my first races and also helped coach a cycling club.

Road cycling, however, had always fascinated me. At eighteen, I bought my first road bike, and during my studies I gradually returned to cycling more seriously. In 2016, I entered my first local road race and won the shorter distance.

More structured training followed, together with group rides, regular racing, numerous podium finishes and regional championship titles.

Cycling has gradually become a true passion, and I now ride more than 12,000 kilometres a year. What I still enjoy most, however, is simply riding my bike and having the opportunity to keep improving.

Vojtěch Bárta

Running - Ostrava

Running has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started with football as a child before my parents enrolled me in the SSK Vítkovice athletics club. For many years, I competed over shorter distances on the track, but gradually longer road races – 10 km, the half marathon and marathon – became my passion.

Even while working shifts, I try to train consistently and run around 500 km per month. I follow a structured training plan under my coach Pavel Novák.

My goal is to continue pushing my limits and move closer to the top level of Czech distance running.

Zdeněk Müller

Running - Rokycany

I originally started running because I wanted to change my lifestyle and lose weight. Gradually, however, it became my greatest hobby, and the change turned out to be much bigger than I had ever expected.

Today, I cannot imagine my life without exercise. My favourite place to run is my home region of Brdy, but I also pack my running gear whenever I travel, as travelling is another of my passions. I also enjoy cycling as a complement to running.

Only by moving forward can we make progress – on the running trail and in life.
