The person behind the coaching
Manuel Hein.
Coach and runner.
I support ambitious recreational runners and competitive athletes with individual online coaching, drawing on my own experience as a competitive runner.

Running, learning and everyday life
Sport is part
of my life.
I have coached runners since April 2022. I line up at races myself as a competitive runner.
My coaching combines practical experience with a strong grounding in training science. I continually develop my knowledge, read current studies and examine new findings closely. I consider how these insights can be applied meaningfully to training plans and the support I give my athletes.
My main job is as a police instructor. Away from training, I enjoy cycling, hiking and a quiet evening at home.

What this means for your coaching
Your training
starts with you.
Your running goals, training background and everyday commitments belong together. They shape your plan. I consider your training progress and feedback to adjust your preparation within the agreed scope of coaching.
With remote coaching, we stay in touch through TrainingPeaks and WhatsApp. Personal support means following your development and making adjustments when needed.

Noah Cais.
Noah is the 2026 German U23 champion over 3,000m steeplechase. In our work together at Laufgemeinschaft Wehringen, I combine remote support with in-person club and individual training. My regular running coaching service is delivered remotely.
