The sports science graduate and ex-triathlete has developed a total of nine different training programmes for the BINDER24 app – three each in the Beginner, Advanced and Professional categories.

The sessions are quite varied, and always start with a warm-up and end with a cool-down.

The exercises make use of various swimming aids such as pull-buoys, boards, fins or paddles. In between, there are active recovery phases, which one can use for casual swim, for example. BINDER will initially release one programme from each of the three categories; the remaining training modules will then follow at intervals of two months.

“We’re delighted that Matthias Knossalla has enhanced the BINDER24 app with his training tips. Everyone can learn a lot from his knowledge as an athlete, trainer and coach,” says Managing Director Felix Binder about the new programme content.

As a competitor, Matthias Knossalla was, among other things, German duathlon second-place champion and finished second three times in the Ironman 70.3^® and Challenge^®races.

As a trainer and coach, his tasks include getting his athletes fit for the Ironman triathlon in Hawaii and helping them to achieve personal best times.
