StepUp Allgäu - Theresa Maria Sutter book classes

Welcome

I am Theresa Maria Sutter — certified running trainer and ambitious runner from the beautiful Allgäu region.

What sets me apart

Running combined with individual advice and a real sense of success.

My educational and professional background

In 2018, I completed my Abitur at a social science grammar school with the subjects psychology, education and sports. Even then, I was fascinated by the combination of movement and mental strength. I was also able to prove my stamina at that time — with full points in sports school.

I completed my subsequent studies with a focus on consulting as one of the highest-performing graduates of my year. This enabled me to participate in an internal funding program.

After my studies, I began my professional career as a consulting and placement specialist for employers. I was nominated twice as a potential bearer. These awards enabled me to receive a master's scholarship and a reduced salary grade period.

Parallel to my career path, my passion for running has always accompanied me: From training runs to regional competitions or major international events — every route has allowed me to grow personally.

My sporting highlights include:
🏅 podium finishes in half marathons in Füssen, Öpfingen and Bad Waldsee,
🏅 participation in the Allgäu Panorama Marathon, 🏅 Run in the 50th Berlin Marathon.

After a stroke of fate in my family, my passion for running not only supported me professionally, but also gave me a foothold in my private life — of decisive importance, especially in times of lack of therapy places.

I am convinced that running changes — physically, mentally and emotionally. It strengthens, clears the mind and creates self-confidence. Both professionally and privately.

My path to becoming a certified running trainer

I would like to share the power of running with others. As an ambitious runner with professional consulting experience, it was obvious for me to combine the two. That's how I came up with the idea of professionally passing on my enthusiasm for running.

Thanks to my professional consulting skills and many years of running practice, I already had a solid foundation — the only thing missing was the theoretical qualification in running. So I completed the following continuing education courses:

▪️ Training as a company running trainer
▪️ Training as a running campus trainer C
▪️ Seminars on training planning and performance diagnostics

With the combination of theory and practice, I created my heartfelt project StepUp Allgäu. With StepUp Allgäu, you learn to overcome your limits and become the best version of yourself. Movement that not only takes your stamina but also your mental strength to the next level.

What to expect from me

👤 Individual coaching: No off-the-shelf training. For me, your personal development is paramount.

📈 Proven method: My training is based on Andreas Butz's proven running campus method — one of the leading running concepts in German-speaking countries.

🏅 Practical experience: I know from personal experience what counts on the track — and what really matters in training.

🧠 Holistic approach: I support you both physically and mentally so that you can run with joy and long-term motivation.

🌐 Broad network: In addition to medical and sports psychological skills in the family, I maintain an active network of runners and coaches throughout Germany.

What is the mission behind

I'd like to share my enthusiasm for running with you. Running provides clarity, energy and a positive feeling. It helps you get to know yourself and your limits better — you see how far you can go and what you're really capable of.

Regardless of whether you are just starting out, want to deepen your knowledge or are striving for new best times: I will guide you on your individual journey.

Step by step to the best version of yourself.
