An insight into my coaching

Two runners.
Two individual journeys.

From marathon running alongside work and family to Europe’s U23 elite: Andreas and Noah show different paths of athletic development.

Getting started

From your running goal
to working together.

  1. Tell me about your goal

    Share what you are training for, what your current training looks like and how much time you have available.

  2. Find the right support

    We discuss which coaching option fits your goal and the support you need.

  3. Agree when to start

    If it feels right for you, we agree on a start date and the next steps.

Before you get started

Your coaching questions.

How personal is online coaching?

I plan your training and monitor your progress. We stay in touch through TrainingPeaks comments and WhatsApp. When a development calls for feedback, I get in touch proactively.

Can coaching fit around work and family?

The time you have available shapes the plan from the start. When circumstances change, I take that into account and adjust your training where needed.

Which coaching option suits me?

Basic uses four-week blocks. Performance includes weekly reviews and plan updates, plus deeper analysis of selected sessions. Both include personal support, active training monitoring and necessary adjustments. We discuss what you need together.

Support between sessions

When everyday life
changes the plan.

Your feedback helps me plan your next steps around your circumstances.

What coaching can look like · Example

A busy working week leaves less time for training. You also let me know that you are feeling tired.

  1. You share an update

    Through TrainingPeaks or WhatsApp, you tell me what is manageable and how you feel.

  2. I review the context

    I consider your recent training, your feedback and your upcoming goals.

  3. I adjust where needed

    Where needed, I adjust the upcoming sessions - for example, their volume or when they take place during the week.

An illustrative example. Active training monitoring and necessary adjustments are included in both Basic and Performance.

I am a competitive runner myself and coach both ambitious recreational runners and competitive athletes. Your starting point, development and goals are central to my work.
