Some impressions from last week‘s , supporting my dad at his first bike race after 20 years break ☺️
Now my full focus is on . I have had a few last good trainings this week & already start to feel the effect of tapering. After all this beautiful experiences in a supporting role in the last weeks, I now feel really exited about the thought of pushing myself to my own physical & mental limits in Saturday 🚀🫶🏽

Racing the roofs of the Alps is a very special feeling 💥

Between the beautiful green valleys at the start and the great freedom, the thin air and kilometre-wide views over the endless glaciers on one of the highest mountains in the Alps, my happiness is hidden somewhere. Why? I don’t know myself - but something pulls me up there & makes me come back down with a huge sense of fulfilment. Thank you for taking me there & ❤️

From skis to trails 🥰

Spring is always a very special time for me. One can still go on some pretty cool tours in the high mountains, but in the valleys it’s getting warmer again and the trails are becoming snow-free. This is the point at which the transformation from ski mountaineering to trails takes place. I always find this a huge challenge, as the muscles and joints are not yet used to the specifics of the trails.
After a short adaptation phase at the beginning of April, during which I also picked up a few minor injuries, I am very happy to have pushed through the last six weeks of proper training. The figures speak for themselves: an average of 17 hours, 5,000 vm, 83 kilometres of running, 10 long runs & two very successful test races. 🎉
I’m now looking forward to a couple of days of tapering and then to find out what’s possible at the . 🫶🏽

Nochmal alles gegeben beim Penzberger Teamtrail mit den 🥲 lustig sind so kurze Rennen schon, aber Gott bin ich froh, dass ich in der Hauptsaison weiter laufen darf & mich nicht so sehr ans Limit pushen muss 🙌🏾🚀

Solid race face at km 38 pushing through the cheering zone 📣 not only the PB with 2:53:21 made me super happy, but also the way I could enjoy 41km of the race (42 was no fun anymore, just praying not to collapse under Brandenburger Tor 😜)

The moment of realization we actually made to the hut in the last light 🙏🏽😊 with 2.700 meters of elevation gain always above 2.200 meters (up to 3.418) this was for sure the hardest hike I ever did 👀 now back home for some days to prepare the last highlights of the season 😁

15 months after my very first half marathon at 2021, I can say with confidence that I am slowly becoming one of the best runners in Munich.
Super grateful for the process so far & even more excited about what the next years will bring, I can only recommend everyone to stick to what makes YOU happy and not to follow what society expects from you. Surround yourself with people who share your passion & be aware that this path also means letting loose of of old habits & behaviors. This is the way to your happiness. 🫶🏽🍀
Live YOUR dream peeps 😘
