Running with a concept – powered by Die Laufschule.

In cooperation with Die Laufschule, Europe’s largest running training network, we use a scientifically-backed running concept: from gait and running analysis to technique training and neuromuscular development – tailored to your running goals.

The Benefits of the Running Elite Program

1. Improve Running Economy

Improve running economy through technique optimization, neuromuscular activation, and precise stimulus control. Goal: economic movement with maximum energy output – felt in every step.

2. Accelerate Recovery

Shortened recovery times and higher resilience through active recovery in the recovery zone with a focus on breathing. Goal: faster supercompensation and stable performance development over all training cycles.

3. Adapt Nutrition

Maintaining and improving performance with periodized nutrition, targeted fueling, and adaptive training control. Goal: sustainable energy availability, hormonal balance, and consistent performance.
