About me
From the mountains, for the mountains
I'm Lukas — endurance coach, MSc, and active trail and sky runner myself. My path to coaching didn't start at a desk, but on rocky ridges and long trail runs that showed me what truly matters: training that fits the person — not the other way around.
Since 2019, I've been guiding runners and mountain athletes toward their goals. Science-backed, but always with an eye on the human behind the plan — on life, energy, joy, and the next summit.

Common questions
What you want to know
For anyone who wants to improve in trail running, ultra running or mountain sports — whether you're just starting out or already have some races behind you. Even if you're on the road – from taking your first running steps to 10k or marathon preparation – you're just as welcome here: a solid aerobic base and injury-free, structured progression are the foundation for every running goal. I work with ambitious amateur athletes who want to get more out of their training.
You get a periodized weekly plan, we have regular feedback conversations, and I adjust your plan on an ongoing basis — based on how you're doing, not just numbers.
TrainingPeaks as a platform (I can help you set it up), plus regular conversations via Zoom or phone. I'm open to technology — if you prefer other tools, we can talk about it.
You'll find the exact packages and prices on the coaching page. In the free first call, we can also discuss what works best for your situation — no pressure, no obligation.
Absolutely. Many of my clients don't have a specific race in mind — they simply want to train more structured, spend more time in nature, or build their endurance for the mountains. That's a perfectly valid goal.
