A story from my coaching work
Noah Cais.
Among Europe’s
leading U23 runners.
I have coached Noah in middle- and long-distance running since May 2024. His story begins in football and leads through his first track races to a German U23 title.

Where he started
From the start
to today.
Today’s personal bests tell only part of the story. His background and the races in between help show how Noah has developed.

From football to running
Noah had played club football since childhood. When he began police training in September 2023, running became part of his routine. His talent was noticed there.
- May 2024
From instructor to running coach
I was Noah’s instructor before becoming his running coach. I have coached him in middle- and long-distance running since May 2024. An early documented result: 4:28.94 over 1,500m in Munich on 11 May.

Early progress on the track
On 19 June, Noah ran 2:02.96 over 800m. By 13 July, he had broken two minutes with 1:59.78. Over 3,000m, he improved from 9:29.57 in July to 9:07.15 in September.

The step into steeplechase

Our work together
On the track.
And between sessions.
I coach Noah both in person, through club and individual training, and remotely. I review the sessions we do not complete together from a distance. I continue to monitor his training between our in-person sessions.
Noah’s coaching combines work in person with remote analysis. My offering for new coaching clients is remote; active training monitoring is included in both coaching options.
