Is This You?
This coaching is exactly right for you if…
You're an endurance athlete, but constantly injured?
You run or cycle, but keep struggling with nagging tendon and joint pain – or you don't know how to add strength training without standing on the course with tired legs. More on injury prevention →
You love heavy lifts, but your endurance is lacking?
You don't want to compromise in the gym, but finally want to finish a 10K or half marathon – without losing your muscle.
You have little time and no patience for guesswork?
Between work and everyday life, you don't want to train aimlessly for 10 hours – you want to know exactly which session gets you to your goal most efficiently.
The System
3 Steps to Your Peak Performance
Digital Baseline Analysis
No guesswork. We start with a thorough analysis of your current baseline. Your existing strength values and endurance data (like FTP and pace zones) form the foundation we build your system on.
No worries: if you don't have current strength values or don't know your FTP / zones, we'll test them and establish the baseline we build on.
Smart Training Management
Your training is radically optimized for efficiency and closely monitored:
- ✓ Endurance via intervals.icu: Heart rate, power zones and fatigue (fitness vs. fatigue) in real time – overtraining nipped in the bud.
- ✓ Strength via digital training log: Every set, every rep and your percentage progression (RPE / % of 1RM) are visible live at any time.
Regular Data Feedback
By connecting your data, I continuously analyze your progress. Depending on your chosen package, we dynamically optimize your plan during live check-ins and tailor it to your daily life, job and recovery. More on training periodization →

Strong in the gym.
Unstoppable outside.
The fitness world still thinks in surprisingly black-and-white terms: on one side the bulky strength athlete who's out of breath after three flights of stairs. On the other, the wiry mile-eater who can't lift the empty barbell.
I refused to accept that compromise. As a coach, I combine heavy strength training with structured endurance sport (all the way to triathlons and marathons). My approach isn't based on gut feeling, but on data-driven training management and sound sports science.
This isn't about turning everyone into a full-time hybrid athlete. As a strength athlete, you already benefit from a targeted endurance component – for better recovery, heart health and fitness away from the barbell. As a runner, cyclist or triathlete, structured strength training makes you faster and, above all, more resistant to injury. And if you want both at the highest level, I coach you as a hybrid athlete too.
Whether you're a beginner wanting to build your first solid endurance base without sacrificing muscle, or an athlete looking to break through the next performance plateau: we train smart, polarized and with a system – in exactly the balance that fits your goal.

About Me
From the Barbell
to the Street:
My Journey as a Hybrid Athlete.
The Common Thread: Sport as Competition
For as long as I can remember, sport has meant more to me than just movement. It means challenge, structure and measuring myself against the best. It all started at age 8 on the tennis court. For ten years I fought for every point on the team and learned what athletic discipline means.
But at 18, I was drawn into a different world: the weight room.
The Strength Evolution: Bodybuilding & Weightlifting
My journey in the gym began with classic bodybuilding. I wanted to know how far I could push my body. The result? Competing at the German GNBF Championship in 2013.
Bodybuilding
But pure aesthetics eventually wasn't enough for me anymore. I wanted performance. Through CrossFit, I found my true passion in olympic weightlifting. Here it was no longer just about looks, but about milliseconds, brutal explosive power and absolute precision under heavy loads.
Licensed Coach – Not Just an Athlete.
What sets me apart from the next Instagram coach: I bring not only my own competitive experience, but also structured pedagogical craft. As a licensed C-level weightlifting coach and with over 5 years of coaching experience in club sports I know how to teach technique properly – to beginners and advanced athletes alike.

The Switch: Why Not Strong and Fast?
Despite the heavy lifts, the endurance side never let go of me. Whether on mountain bike Alps crossings or hard runs on asphalt – I always wanted to know if you could combine maximum strength with brutal endurance.
Today my answer is: Yes, it works. With a current half marathon best time of 1:39 h, an olympic distance triathlon best time of 2:28 h and an Ironman 70.3 best time of 5:17 h at around 90 kg body weight, I prove every day anew that the system works. You don't have to choose. You can be strong and unstoppably enduring.
How this works without getting injured, I explain in detail in my article on Strength Training for Runners & Triathletes.

The Reality: Between Family, Work and High Performance
Why am I telling you all this? Not to shine with titles. But to show you that I know the highs and lows of training from my own experience.
I'm not a coach who lives 24/7 in the gym and whose only worry is the next meal. As a working father I know exactly the balancing act between work, two kids and ambitious athletic goals. Time is the most valuable resource we have. That's why my coaching isn't based on outdated "no pain, no gain" clichés, but on highly efficient, data-driven training management.
I design your plan so it fits into your real life – so you get the absolute maximum out of your time.
