“Running is much more flexible and is therefore much easier to combine with my job as a doctor.” “For heptathlon training, you always need to have access to facilities, equipment, training partners and a trainer,” she explains. However, that also had a lot to do with the fact that she had completed her medical studies in Tübingen and it was becoming more and more difficult to reconcile her job and training when she started working as a doctor. Somehow it was logical that she eventually gave up the heptathlon and began concentrating entirely on running. For her, the two stadium laps at the end were always the best part of the heptathlon: “And in training I often wanted to run more, but I wasn’t allowed to because they always said that endurance running makes you slow and is bad for the first six events.” The main thing is “M” - from multi-sport heptathlon to the marathon for the medical doctor But almost no heptathletes are all too enthusiastic about that. Endurance is really only needed to survive the many different events over the course of two days and then the final 800 m race at the end. 100 m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 m dash, long jump, javelin throw-these are all events that require a lot of speed. In the end, only one thing counts: You are not alone on your Road 2 Berlin Legend: RUN FOR JOY!įrom the heptathlon to the marathon: For most athletes like Katja Fischer, running is more of a love-hate relationship-heptathletes usually don’t get too excited about running long distances. Experience Philipp Pflieger in a wind tunnel and get some final tips for getting the best out of your race at the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON. In addition to priceless experiences, you can win tickets to a Coldplay concert in Glasgow, because music is an important motivator for running training. Join Philipp Pflieger for a 5D Lab analysis and learn how to optimise your workouts.
In addition, together with our title partner BMW, we will enhance your Road 2 Berlin Legend experience with exciting articles and contests to help share the RUN FOR JOY feeling. See for yourself how diverse the Roads 2 Berlin Legend can be. In the coming weeks, we will be following some of the participants-and some of those involved in the race-on their Road 2 Berlin Legend stories, tackling different topics such as diversity, preparation as the key to success, ups & downs and the anticipation of the race. No matter what motivation and personal story brings you and all our athletes to the starting line on September 24-25, you are all united by the goal of finishing the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON and becoming part of our history as a #berlinlegend.
