As an amateur runner, I had often thought about running more than just the half marathon distance. The marathon was an old dream for me that developed into a concrete goal last year. As I really wanted to train injury-free and get to the start line, I was looking for a coach.

When I came across Martin's homepage, I was not only impressed by his professionalism, but also by his humanity and openness.
Training for the Vienna City Marathon took 6 months and although I love running, I never thought I would enjoy it so much. Hill sprints, long runs, core workouts, mobility training, interval runs - it was always varied, adapted to me, challenging but never overwhelming. We also practiced gel absorption in training so that I didn't hit anyone with a hammer on race day.
I had a few painful hurdles along the way - an offending kneecap, a blocked nerve, the occasional cold symptom, but Martin rewrote the training several times so that I could continue to train consistently.
He also gave me an incredible amount of tips before the big day on what to look out for, what to avoid, how to get energy from the crowd and much more.

The last 6 months have been a great journey for me and I was able to achieve my goal: I ran the Vienna City Marathon, felt strong throughout, had a lot of fun and can truly say that it was one of the most special days of my life.

So if you are also looking for a great trainer - with Martin you are in professional hands!

After years of focusing on strength training, I wanted to give it another go and break my 10-year-old half marathon best time of 1h51.

I spent 16 weeks preparing for the half marathon in Enschede with the help of Martin - with the aim of finishing in under 1h50.

And now, 16 weeks later, with my new personal best time of 01:42:42, I have left my original goal far behind me. And in the shortest possible time.

I would never have thought it possible that I would ever manage to do it so quickly. So I'm all the happier that I did it. Thanks to the great professional support from Martin, who prepared me perfectly for the run with his weekly adapted training plans.

Together with Martin Quitzke, I was able to realize my athletic goals, achieve new best times at all distances up to the marathon (with significant improvements) and take my training to a new level - I'd be happy to do it again anytime!

Martin took great care of all my wishes, concerns and questions. This not only led to a great result (25 minutes under my best time), but above all to the good feeling of being well prepared and proud of what I have achieved. Thank you Martin!

24.9.2023 Berlin - This day will definitely stay in my memory for a long time. 7 months of structured training, mental coaching and even on-site course support in Berlin by Martin made this run my best marathon experience to date - crowned by a new personal best time. Everything is possible - and with Martin as a coach, faster than expected. Clear recommendation on my part!

I came across Martin after searching the internet for online running training. And already after the first conversation it was clear to me that Martin is exactly the right coach for me. He immediately responded to my needs and always had realistic ideas about my runs. Through the super training, runs combined with the appropriate workouts, I have improved my times significantly. The best thing was that the plan was adapted to my everyday life every week. So I never had the feeling that I couldn't do the training. Martin was always available and encouraged me even after bad runs and gave me a good feeling. Also, with his help I managed to grow beyond my half marathon limit and managed a 28km run with a mega time. :)

The highlight was the half marathon in Cologne where I improved my best time from April by 4 minutes. Without Martin this would not have been possible. I was also very happy to meet Martin personally in Cologne.

I can only recommend Martin to everyone and look forward to further cooperation!!!

This was the first time I've chosen to prepare with coaching remotely.
My coach Martin planned my weeks on a coaching platform, and my training results were automatically uploaded for the feedback loop. He adopted the plan for my condition and environment.
You feel more accountable and encouraged with a coach, which is more fun!
In the end, I not only had a fantastic experience at the event but also beat my PB to below 1:40h.
I can highly recommend Martin for coaching!

Mr. Quitzke is a very friendly and arranged man. I am super satisfied.
