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 1st and 2nd 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.

Optimizing running speed

Using high-speed cameras, your running technique at different speeds is recorded, then analyzed. You will be given exercise sequences and training recommendations to perfect your technique.

Running Coach

Following a movement analysis or performance diagnostics, our experienced running coach will show you targeted exercises for your running technique, or guide you through interval training so that you can continue working on these after your stay.

Personal Training

You wish to create a training plan directly after the diagnostics? We will be happy to sit down with you and plan the coming weeks in detail. 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.

Trailrunning

Trail running is a nature-based form of running that takes place off paved roads — along forest paths, over rocky mountains, and through scenic valleys. These varied routes not only challenge your endurance but also demand focus and technique.

The area around Schloss Elmau, set in the heart of the picturesque Alpine landscape, offers ideal conditions for trail runners: diverse trails through forests and alpine meadows with breathtaking views. It’s a perfect place to fully enjoy the sport in nature — far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
