Trailrunning

Trailrunning ist eine naturverbundene Art des Laufens abseits befestigter Wege – auf Pfaden durch Wälder, über steinige Berge und entlang von Tälern. Diese abwechslungsreichen Strecken fordern nicht nur Kondition, sondern auch Konzentration und Technik.

In der Umgebung von Schloss Elmau, mitten in der malerischen Alpenlandschaft, finden Trailrunner perfekte Bedingungen: abwechslungsreiche Trails durch Wälder und über Almwiesen mit beeindruckenden Ausblicken. Hier lässt sich der Sport in voller Natur genießen, weit weg vom Trubel und Alltag.

Jogging

Schloss Elmau offers perfect conditions for runners. There are different routes around the castle for every level, ranging from 3 to 18 km along rushing mountain streams and crystal-clear lakes. With a spiro-ergometry analysis, you can optimize your running speed, which not only allows you to burn less calories and more fat and reduce your weight sustainably, but also increase your endurance. You can also improve your running style with the help of a personal trainer and a video analysis.

Performance Diagnostic Basic

Spiroergometry – an increasing load on the bike or treadmill with simultaneous measurement of respiratory gases & ventilation – is used to determine your threshold values, which are necessary for targeted training monitoring and management. You will obtain your pulse value and speed/watt at the 1^st and 2^nd ventilatory threshold. Your trainer needs these values to be able to monitor and manage your training properly. These values change, which is why 2-3 measurements per year are recommended for ambitious athletes. After the measurement, you will be given the values with a short explanation of the training ranges.

Performance diagnostic Premium

In addition to the basic diagnostics, this involves an analysis on the bike and on the treadmill. A movement analysis is also carried out during the run: a precise high-speed video analysis that allows you to identify any hidden potential in your running technique. Directly after the diagnostics, the determined values are briefly explained, and within 24h you will receive the an evaluation of both tests, the movement analysis based on picture series, as well as general training recommendations, all in writing! If you do the diagnostics regularly and only need an update, the offer is sufficient; otherwise we recommend that you book another training consultation afterwards to be able to integrate the results into your training accordingly.

If you need to talk more about this, you can also request coaching after your stay, we will update your plans according to your real needs and also advise you on an ongoing basis, via Zoom. If this is your first diagnosis, we also advise you to book another consultation, as this is usually needed to understand the results.
