About us The development of go!-coach

go!-coach (formerly go!-Training by Oschmann), was developed by Dr. med. Laure Oschmann , Andreas Oschmann, and several sports advisers. Dr. Laure Oschmann is a hobby runner, with great interest in sport medical matters. The team around the training expert Andreas Oschmann, runner and triathlete (marathon PB 2:36.58) and Peter Maisenbacher (multiple German Senior Champion and DLV A-trainer) have, with their specialist knowledge, idealism and involvement, made it their job to develop a computer programme which can work out made-to-measure training plans not only for absolute beginners, but also for ambitious athletes. These plans are based on the most recent sport medicine and training theory findings. At this point, special thanks go to our computer programmer and internet expert Arkadiusz Wolanski. This dedicated colleague didn't even shy away from night shifts - it was more important for him to complete hiswork and keep the dates for the presentation of go!-coach to the public. Andreas Oschmann and his team are looking forward to their new responsibilities and wish all users enjoyment, good health and in addition also new PB's with go!-coach.
