My coaching philosophy

What is your dream? Run 5 kilometer, a marathon or qualify for Kona? Do your first triathlon or set a personal best on the 10K?

Imagine how it will feel once you get there, at that finish line. You feel invincible, YOU have worked so hard and come this far, no one in the world can take that smile of your face. Ready to get started?

Training should make you go faster, reach further, be happier –and I am dedicated to getting you there. Whatever your goal, whatever your level.

Having a PhD in exercise physiology, all my advice and training schedules are based on the latest scientific insights. I evaluate the latest advances in exercise sciences ánd translate them to your personal situation. That ensures that you get maximum effect of your valuable training hours.

Coaching is not just for elite athletes. Whether you are in training for a 5K or to qualify for the world championships triathlon, a coach can be a source of knowledge, motivation and inspiration. I can even help you defining new goals, if you are not completely sure what your next challenge should be. Experience how rewarding and fun training can be with a coach!

How does it work?

I am committed to coaching you from my strong scientific background and translate the latest scientific insights to your personal situation. I will shape this into the only training schedule that will help you get everything out of yourself – yours.

The coaching trajectory starts with a thorough exploration of all aspects of your training. These include your strengths and weaknesses, training history, characteristics of your A-priority race and training preferences, but also your life outside of sports. We will also have a closer look at other important components of training and racing, such as nutrition, equipment and mental factors.

In all aspects of training, I will use my scientific knowledge and experience to give you the best possible advice. That means I will incorporate my scientific expertise into your training schedule. That could be anything from recent insights on high-intensity training, nutrition or age-specific needs to racing in extreme conditions such as in heat or at high altitude.

An important focus point will be you and your personal circumstances: how will you get the most out of your training while combining it with other facets of your life such time spend on work, family and friends. Questionnaires, exercise tests and simply asking questions will help me get a better insight.

Once started, we will be in contact (in person or via mail/phone) every 4 weeks. Based on logged trainings (and the necessary reality check), I will adjust your training schedule. If you have any important questions – for example on missed trainings or injuries – you can always contact me by email, so that I can adjust your schedule ‘on the go’.

- Lectures on exercise physiology, training strategies and (sports) nutrition

I am fluent in English and have a functional understanding of Swedish and German. You are free to communicate in any of these languages, though you may expect my communication to be in English.

What it costs

Intake or consult

We will go through everything I need to know about your training. I will give you brief advice on nutrition, equipment and basic training principles. A consult can also be booked if you just want scientific advice on training, nutrition or mental aspects of racing. An intake session is done in person or by phone, scientific advice can also be emailed to you. Costs: 550SEK per hour

Personal coaching

Personal coaching includes ca 1 hour of personal coach contact per month (email/phone), adjustment of training schedule as well as unlimited contact per email on urgent questions. Since it’s hardly expected to see real progress in less than 3 months, a minimum commitment of 3 months is advised. Costs: 995SEK per month.
