Prolific racing without injury and burnout

Thank you to our client Mareike from Germany for sharing this feedback on working with a MTA coach. We are impressed by the challenges she continues to set for herself. She writes,

“I started working with Coach Abby in January 2023 to make sure I got some one guide me professionally through all the races I had planned to run that year. Especially since I did not want to injure myself by running to much.

Abby’s training plans have guided me through everything I had planned for myself and even further!

Not only did I not get injured, but my times improved. All while I never felt like I was burning out.

In 2024 I was able to run five halfmarathons, one 34k race, two relays with about 30k distance to cover, one marathon and two ultramarathons (50k and 67k) all without any running related injuries.

And I even got an eleven minute PR in the halfmarathon and a twenty minute PR in the marathon out of it!!!

My last marathon was 42 minutes faster than the first one I ever ran!

Abby always had answers to my questions and when I needed to change workouts around my busy schedule as a self-employed veterinarian, mom of two and owner of a small farm she helped me getting it done.

What I am most thankful for is that Abby always had a solution for when I didn´t obey the plan, like running 67k when I should have done 32. 🙂

Thank You MTA and thank You Abby! I´m very excited to see where Your training will get me next year!” –Mareike from Germany
