FRITZI.

Friederike — but everyone calls me Fritzi. With RS since January 2024 and fully caught in half marathon fever ever since.

THE BEGINNING.

Before my first session I genuinely thought the motto was: run fast. Because of RS. I really believed that. 😂

Instead, my first run was straight into Bridge2Bridge — 21 kilometres. Somehow made it through. But the endorphin rush afterwards was real, and now I treat myself to that 1–2 times a week.

Within two years of regular sessions the progress became undeniable. And suddenly the half marathon fever hit.

FAVOURITE SESSION.

Triangle of Death and Suicide Sprints on Mondays — short intervals where I can give absolutely everything. That's exactly my thing.

Fridays the Mona Fartlek with timed intervals. Short and brutal beats long and managed every time.

WHY RS.

Found and built real friendships through RS. Not so much because of the socialising — more because of the mutual pushing. Not giving up so easily. Grinding through it together. And still having fun.

OUT THERE.

Salzburg Half Marathon was the last one. Next up: Stockholm and Valencia — and the ongoing attempt to combine city trips with races wherever possible.

2025: Lisbon is locked in. Maybe the first marathon at Lake Garda. And alongside that: yoga teacher training — with the goal of teaching yoga specifically for runners.

Short intervals, full commitment. Give everything — and still have fun.
