Madlen Kappeler

Ich bin eine leidenschaftliche Elite-Trailläuferin und Triathletin, mit dem Ziel, an die Weltspitze zu gelangen.

Jeder Schritt ist für mich eine Gelegenheit, Grenzen zu überschreiten und die Freude am Wettkampf zu leben.

#throwback – 3rd place at the Duathlon Middle Distance World Championships 2025 at @powerman.germany

Still one of my favorite memories and definitely a top-3 race for me – outstanding organization, great people behind it, and an amazing location. Absolutely recommend it 🙌🏻😌

The countdown to the European Championships in Alsdorf 2026 is on. I won’t be racing this year, but I wish everyone the very best of luck.

Hopefully see you all in 2027 🤞🏻

As the season approaches; my prep still feels far off, and my mind is racing more and more. I know, I'm speaking for many of you! Honestly, who can't even relate? 😉
To be real, most of the stress is made up in our mind and we're moving in circles. It's how we react that matters.
So, invest in your physical AND mental well-being.

Remember; Be your own best friend and ally, not your enemy. 🤞🏻💫
P.S. I know it's harder said than done, but if we never start, we never know.

Keeping the good vibe for socials vs actually feeling with those winter vibes ☃️ #swipe

Such as with the weather, you cannot control what's going on with your body sometimes - you can only work with it.😉
Finally got some insights and update on my health status. 🙌🏻

Turns out I had Epstein-Barr virus (Pfeiffersches Drüsenfieber) at some point. I can’t even say when, because life had several curveballs in the past years😅
The virus stays in your body and can reactivate… so this is what’s going on now.

To go back: It was mid January when I started to feel off and needed to take off.
The past 2 months, I went through mental health issues (another topic), thought it was all psychological, then just stress and a virus, then even myocarditis or something like that. Had some days where I felt better, some days I could barely do anything. 😅🥹

I thought after my success in Gran Canaria I’d finally get back to training…Well, 3 weeks later I’m still questioning my well-being as the body still cannot handle any stress nor recover from it. However, that interpretation of my labs finally gives me some calmness as I finally know what's going on. It all makes sense now.🤞🏻

So let’s keep it simple:
day by day, listening to my body,
and slowly building back up with my coach.

Just facts on life.
It's just another episode of life to get through. It's been already a while so I hope we're through it soon. I'm relaxed but at the same time sooo excited to get back to all - for now, still too exhausted.

And for real, if no one would know - everything seems as usual, right? 💁🏽‍♀️😅

KW 12 ✨

It shows, the baseline keeps rising.🙆🏽‍♀️
Wrapped up the week with another local run, 10k this week. Controlled and comfortable, with a small surge in the last km.
Next week done, on my way back. Mind and soul are fully in, ready to push, but the body’s still playing catch-up with recovery and handling load. Hard to put into words, as I don't know - that’s probably the most frustrating part.😬🤞🏻
At the same time, there’s a calm underneath it all through many experiences.😌😅
I know where this is going, and I trust the process. Und liebs einfach 🥹❤️‍🔥

@sporthunger.de Always.
Running empty? Never.

Season is coming close. Make sure to test your fueling in training to have your race strategy set.
(By the way: you should always fuel your training 😉)

Sporthunger’s got it all — keeping me fueled with everything I need. Also always new products or brands worth trying.
Forgot to order before race day? They're still faster than your panic. For real.

Maurten bar chocolate is quite an addiction 🥹.

Currently my go to brands @maurten_official @pacemakernutrition @bixhydration.de.at @sunn.fuelingarts

It actually feels sooo good to be moving again. The body is tired, the legs are sore, but things are rolling.

Setbacks can hurt, but they usually leave you stronger. They are simply part of the process. And this one, was more than needed for my growth. Be patient and trust it.

Mind, body and soul are ready to take on load again. Trans Gran Canaria already surprised me with the performances I managed there. This week, after two easy days I got back to regular training and finished the week with a local half marathon: 1:18:xx, about 200 m+ elevation, including some very muddy sections.☃️ it was fun.
@halbmarathon.ottobeuren - great organization, super event!

Still, I decided not to race at the German Half Marathon Championships next week. 🥲 Too many training weeks were lost, and right now the focus is on rebuilding properly. I’m also not sure I would be satisfied with the time I could run at the moment. Next one again 😌

Time flies...The official season start is only three weeks away. 🔥

The quiet moments of race prep: lacing up, dialing in, number on.
Counting the days until the season is in full swing.

Random camera roll dump from the last couple of days at The North Face @transgrancanaria

The trip I didn’t know I needed the most to get back on track 🫶🏻.

Still need to process everything that happened. So grateful for the amazing people I got to spend this time with — the energy, the laughs, the conversations, it's been a pleasure. THANK YOU.
Definitely made memories that will stay with me forever! Good vibes only. Looking forward to the next.

Race recap asap.🤞🏻

Last minute call-up for The North Face @transgrancanaria — and I’m in.❤️‍🔥

Today: VK – 5.5 km / 1090 m+

Am I ready? I’m ready to have fun, to embrace the pain, and to see what my body is capable of right now. I’ll give the best I have in this moment.

Not every race is about peak performance. Sometimes it’s about growth. About learning. About showing up even when you don’t feel perfectly prepared. Be grateful for the opportunity and kick a*s!

Progress isn’t linear — and start lines don’t wait for perfect timing. 🔥🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

P.S. Check out the livestream. 15:45 local, 16:45 German time.

Hey zusammen ☺️

Ab sofort starte ich offiziell mit meinem Ernährungscoaching.🥳
Im Fokus steht kein Standardplan, sondern eine individuelle Betreuung, die sich an deinen persönlichen Zielen, deinem Alltag und deinen Bedürfnissen orientiert. Gemeinsam erarbeiten wir eine Strategie, die realistisch umsetzbar ist und langfristig funktioniert. Es gibt nicht die Ernährungspyramide die für jeden funktioniert!

In der Trainingsplanung (Fokus Trail) sind nur noch wenige Plätze verfügbar.👀

Weitere Informationen findest du auf meiner Website.
Bei Interesse einfach melden. Coaching – ob Ernährung oder Trainingsplanung – ist nicht nur für Profis gedacht, sondern für alle, die strukturiert und zielgerichtet an sich arbeiten möchten.🙌🏻

Was hält dich noch ab?

Heyy there — it’s been quiet for a while. But we're backkk 🤓‼️.
Officially moved through the first low of 2026 ❤️‍🩹👋🏼

Good news, back to normal starting next week 🤞🏻😁.

It’s been six weeks since my last proper, full training week.
At first, I thought I had picked up an infection — breathing issues, feeling completely off.
Cut off my training camp in Fuerteventura as I officially hit the wall there.
It became clear this wasn’t just physical. It was psychological. I felt stuck. Low. Almost depressive at times. Heavy. Flat. Without spark.

The reason? Inner conflict. Misalignment. And not communicating it. The shift started the moment I finally said it out loud. My symptoms got better.

High performance sport teaches you to push through almost everything. It rarely teaches you to pause before you break. You learn it through experience.

Medical checks this week confirmed I’m healthy.🤞🏻
Finally investing in psychological support — and that has already made a difference.

Sooooo ready to take on load again: realign, rebuild, return to training. The spark is coming back. The smile too.💫 ❤️‍🔥

I'm confident that was by far not a setback, instead a big move forward 🙂

Reminder y'all: keep body and mind on the same team. Change is part of progress. Doing what’s best for you isn’t weakness. It’s strength.🙆🏽‍♀️

First days on Fuerte done. Not the amazing stats I’d like to show, but it is what it is 🤓😂.

Here are some nice photos I took to show some insta glory. 🤩 Some rest, easy training, work, and some pool time—mostly for sunbathing. 💁🏽‍♀️🌞

In honesty: had some weeks feeling super off and I hit officially the wall the past few days. 🪨
No negativity, just one of those phases where dealing with your own mind takes a lot of energy. Sometimes more than you expect.

Soo, body's recovering and mind is ready to take on some load again.

We’re all human. Be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up. Take care. :)

Grateful for my people I can always talk to ❤️‍🩹

Still, 2 more weeks here - sooooo let's gooooo!🥳

The month started strong with solid progress, then the body asked for a pause. The last three weeks were about easy movement and recovery. Still, closing January with some XC skiing miles and great company 🤍

Two more days fully in recovery mode — then hopefully back on track next week. The sun is already calling 👀🌞✈️

If you never try, you will never know. Keep moving, or rather: keep swimming 😌

Back to Business. Last week was kind of a super random off week. Body needed rest, I gave it to him. It paid off 🙃💁🏽‍♀️

Hope you’re all enjoying calm and wonderful Christmas days. 🎄💫

For me, there's no better place than home with my family. - @badhindelang

After a few easy days following Lanzarote, training ramps up again starting today. Surprisingly, I handled the weeks well — guess it's all finally moving up🙂.

Today's menu: uphill intervals. Icy and slippery — definitely the limiting factor. But that’s okay, it’s all about the effort.😉

Lanzarote '25 - 16 days in numbers.*
Made a mistake. Lol - 67h in total!!!
Focus: base work, with some spice- e.g. 20min all out effort aka new FTP)❤️‍🔥

My kind of work-traination. It's been a pleasure! I truly enjoyed the whole time there. Probably haven't ever trained that much and still feeling awesome. @_juliaseibt_ big things in progress.

@barcelolanzaroteactiveresort - truly a place to stay 🙂 affordable (also for solo person) and you have everything you need.

Work & Uni went well - this time, I actually had a work-life balance 😂💁🏽‍♀️

Anyway, if you want to know more about my time there. Check out my Youtube 🤪💁🏽‍♀️ - e.g. my secret to train a lot and still feeling fcking awesome after 2 1/2 weeks of training.

*Hope I got all the numbers right🫣

See ya next year 💫 Don't forget: Grind.Smile.Fly

Second 3-day training block done — probably also the most beautiful days here on Lanzarote. Perfect weather, perfect wind, and one solid session after the next.❤️‍🔥
Plenty of base work, plenty of fun, just keep moving....and eating🍞🍫. The body is handling it well, just a bit tired — though someone should ask why I keep waking up at 4 a.m. 💁🏽‍♀️😂
Todays' menu: recovery, laundry, and lots of laptop work.
Let’s see what the weather has planned for the next days.. could be rough.👀

Anyway, enjoying every single minute.🫶🏻

Birthday well spent. Probably the happiest one in years.🙃
Three days on Lanzarote done — finally back to proper training (yes, even the swim structure💁🏽‍♀️). Build-up mode activated.❤️‍🔥
Found some great company too — including a temporary personal photographer @marcohofbeck

The trip was a last-minute call for several reason; ok one: money. But in the end, investing in yourself, taking risks, and moving toward your goals beats sitting in regret. It pays off — always.

For now, making the most of my flexibility… while still juggling studying and work. = my work-traination. Love it for real!

Don't get me wrong:
I love the snow,
I love xc skiing,
December is my favorite month,
Christmas vibes for real.

But the cold is a deal breaker. 🫡👀

This week’s focus: rekindle that energy, drive, and joy ❤️‍🔥

No rush — your body will let you know when it’s ready.

I’m gradually getting back into training and working on finding a routine that balances crating my own coaching business, studies, training, and a bit more activity on social media — all while keeping recovery and stress management a priority; leaving old habits behind :)

Off-season officially over ❤️‍🔥 time for structure, routines, and the next build-up towards race season '26.

Still, the past 4 weeks have been anything but boring:
🧘‍♀️ Two weeks of complete rest for a full physical and mental recharge.
🚀 Started my own business – Madlen Kappeler Coaching is officially live - DM for your next trail coaching!
🎓 Exams & studying for my 2nd Master’s degree at @ist_hochschule
🇮🇹 A few days in Italy for a team meet-up and work with @sportsshoes – more soon
😟Wrapped it up with a few days in Lübeck – beautiful city, but rather very exhausting and mentally challenging days!

Now I’m just so ready to get back to work and start building again. 🫶🏻

Last weekend at Trofeo Vanoni: Italy vibes to the fullest. Shock for the system for sure - finding the rhythm between off-season and getting back on track.🥰

P7 for @amelie.runs + me 🤩

Big thanks to @sportsshoes

Back to full training next week! More soon❤️‍🔥

A glimpse into last weekend in Italy. 🇮🇹
I met amazing people, had so much fun, good food,and laughed a lot.
Wake up call at 4:30 a.m. for a sunrise shoot up high was totally worth it! Always a morning person 🥰 Autumn vibes, colorful leaves, and beautiful scenery let me (almost) forget the freezing temperatures. Full Eskimo style - need to buy this jacket.👀

Thanks for the weekend. 🩵

📸 Almost all pics by @amelie.runs 🫶🏻 as she had the phone and my hands were too frozen. 🤪

Season 2026 starts now. It's time to level up my game.

Thanks to @samojedenhof @therapieloft.fichtelgebirge for the time and support.🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

My body's been checked and analyzed — weak spots, imbalances, mobility, the whole picture.
Now I know what’s been holding me back — time to get to work. There’s a lot of potential to be unlocked.💯😉

Why? Tired of unnecessary setbacks every season; that’s not how progress happens. Can’t even remember the last time I was able to properly build up my running performance and have consistent training.
Let's finally leave this behind. 🤞🏻

Let's wrap it up!

24 broke me.
25 taught me lessons but found myself again.
26… watch out.

I’m taking season. 🙃
2x top 15 at Ironman 70.3 Pro Series
3x competing at World Champs (2x Duathlon, 1x Trail & Mountain Running)
2x World champs Podium, Duathlon
Basically the fact of getting nominated for the German Trail Team competing at worlds was HUGE for me.
1x Marathon - thought it'd be fun, also having 2400m elevation gain. 🫣
1x long distance Duathlon - basically having 7h of race time 🫠
1x triathlon bundesliga with ktt01 🥰

Still, keep in mind: It's only the highlight reel of life, not showing the actual things happening aside. 👋🏼

When the coach is standing at the track, you don't dare to do anything other than go all in🤣🫣

Currently in those weeks of no plan and only rest, cause that's also part of the game👀 😌.
Looking back on a season full of lessons, small wins, and progress in the right direction.

Huge thanks to @_juliaseibt_ for going with me through all since many years!🫶🏻
Can’t wait for the next build up starting soon 😎.

Off-season mode: ON.
Right now it’s all about giving my body the rest it truly needs. The past few weeks were exhausting, and honestly, I’m still impressed I made it through last weekend.

Taking the time to let the fatigue fade away — maybe it’ll take a week, two, or even three until I start moving again. Anyway, lots of exciting and new beginnings ahead. 🙃

Spending a few more days with my family at @postwirtsoell was the perfect way to kick off this recovery phase.

1 Post-marathon mood
2 Hotel life in a bathrobe
3 Foodporn deluxe – molten lava cake = best on earth
4 That one week a year with normal clothes
5 Silberbergwerk Schwaz
6 Charging my energy with a new stone🫱🏻‍🫲🏽😂
7 hot choc but in a cute coffee cup
8 Wochenbrunner Alm – some sunshine
9 More foodporn
10 A glimpse into the last couple of weeks
11 Met Bambi 🦌
12 Beautiful flowers
13 Food heaven again

Big thanks to my parents, without them I wouldn't have had the stay in Söll. Love you! 🫶🏻🥰.

Tour de Tirol 2025 @tourdetirol @wilder.kaiser
75 km & 3,800 m elevation gain within 2 days 👀

Overall Tour Win 🏆
🥇Söller Zehner – P1
🥈 Kaisermarathon – P2
🏅Pölventrail – P1

What a weekend! Season finale deluxe – and honestly, I didn’t see that coming.
I arrived with zero expectations. Mentally and physically, my season was already over. Since Zell am See 70.3, I struggled and my body was tired.🫠

Also, the Tour de Tirol’s mileage was pretty wild for me anyway, so basically let's see if I can enjoy and finish all 3 stages... Mission accomplished — and not too badly either! 😍 It's crazy what the body sometimes can accomplish 🙃.

I truly enjoyed all 3 races!

Thanks to my mom, my competitive spark reignited in the last 3 km of the final stage. My cruise mode switched off as the overall win was within reach....so I had to push all I had left. 🫣😂

Huge thanks for this incredible even — top-notch organization, logistics, and course.
It was an absolute blast! 🙌

Now, it's time for a complete rest - as long as I need. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

P.S. soon some more in depth and behind the scenes on Youtube 📺😏.

What an inspiring week with great company.🇩🇪👊🏼
Loved the vibes.

It takes time to process everything. A lot of good, some not so good. Learned a lot about what went wrong, what went right, and what's next. Seeing the potential.

For now: recover, wrap up the season with a fun but big challenge 🙃, distance myself fully, and then planning what's next..

Tough day at the “Mountain Classic” @wmtrc2025_canfrancpirineos
Congrats to Nina & Julia on two world titles on that distance ! 🔥🤩

Felt good going into race two, but dizziness hit early on the 1st uphill, then a fall, and also cannot fully remember everything at the finish line.😅 Well, I believe I gave it my all on that day - that happens!

Still managed to finish 47th in a SUPER strong field 🤩; Not the best, but could be worse 😊

Heading home from an intense, inspiring, and unforgettable week with the German National Team. I met many great people and am beyond grateful for this experience and my debut wearing the German singlet 🇩🇪🥰. THANK YOU!

We'll see...there's definitely a lot more to come. 💫

1st ever world championship race in the books.🤗

P36 individually & P4 with the team, just a few points of the podium.😭
Mixed emotions: proud yet disappointed. I gave it all, no regrets. The first half was rough though – lost a lot due to poor tactical choices and being not brave enough. Still, in the end I fought until nothing was left....Well, swipe to see how Asthma hit me hard – the pain’s written on my face 🤣
Anyway, it was a huge learning experience and SO grateful for it. A lot more to come. :)

My girls delivered on point! – Laura P9, & Nina P1 - aka world champ🫣💯, Chapeau.

Now it’s all about recovery – next chance on Sunday. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Über mich

Schön, dass du da bist! Ich bin Madlen Kappeler, Elite Trail- und Triathletin aus dem Oberallgäu, genauer Hindelang. Nach meinem Abitur begann ich meine Reise im Triathlon, während ich im Laufe der Jahre meine Leidenschaft für den Trailsport entdeck. Mein Ziel ist es, die Weltspitze zu erreichen. Ob es Trail oder Triathlon wird? Das zeigt sich. Eins ist gewiss; ich gehe meinen Weg mit Leidenschaft und Freude.

Wenn ich mal nicht selbst trainiere, arbeite ich als Trainerin und Ernährungscoach auf selbstständiger Basis.
