CHAPTER 8
As the Paris Marathon on April 7th approaches, I find myself during a 12-week training plan, with just 8 weeks left to fine-tune my preparation. The road to this marathon has been filled with both triumphs and challenges, and I've encountered valuable lessons along the way. Join me as I share my experiences, from facing barriers to finding motivation and overcoming training hurdles.
CHAPTER 7
We sat down with Kathy Stringer, a British Duathlete, to delve into her upcoming marathon training, the hurdles she's faced with a persistent knee injury, and the invaluable insights she has to offer on preparing for your next race. As an athlete, I’m always looking for the next challenge or goal..and as a dedicated runner, this typically involves trying to improve either my speed at a specific distance or my ability to cover greater mileage.
CHAPTER 6
For Andreas Nelles, the day begins early in the morning: at 6 am. It’s not until twelve hours later that the door slams shut again. Together with two colleagues, the osteopath and alternative practitioner runs a practice for individual therapy in Jülich, North Rhine-Westphalia. A name that keeps its promise. “Every patient and every medical condition is different, and a wide variety of factors determine the most suitable treatment for each patient individually,” the 41-year-old says.
CHAPTER 5
Sports Physiotherapist and Runner. With so much physical activity during work, having the right shoes plays a crucial role. It's only logical that Paulina has "a particularly critical eye when it comes to shoes" solely based on her profession, she says with a smile. Above all, she pays attention to natural stability and good arch support.
