Welcome Athletes!

The articles you’ll find in this section have been written for athletes who already have some knowledge about—and experience in—fitness training. Each is categorized within the five core areas of our approach: inspiration, nutrition, exercise/training, yoga, and health maintenance. You’ll also find expert tips, weekly news updates for athletes (including information about the World Marathon Majors), and interviews with world-class athletes of all ages who share their secrets of success.

Our founder, Uta Pippig, is one of the most accomplished marathoners of her generation. As a result, this Web site has much to offer those of you with a special interest in sports and in becoming the best you can be. You’ll discover ideas on finding inspiration, information about other sports, such as biking, swimming, and skiing, as well as articles by Uta and other athletes who share their personal experiences and offer advice about how you can improve your performance in any sport.

The essence of our philosophy is that the steps we take today can make us better tomorrow. The first step is to imagine what you would like to change about your health and fitness routine. The next step is to rethink the reasons you feel are holding you back. The more you truly want to change, the better your chances will be for success. Changing any part of your life begins with changing the way you think, since your thoughts create your actions, and your actions create the life you have.

You may discover that getting better both mentally and physically is not about quick fixes, but rather consistency, determination, and patience. The goal is to make small, gradual changes to your daily habits so that they’ll become a part of your lifestyle and enhance your performance. Add some fun along the way by taking the time to recognize and appreciate the improvement you’re making!
