MARIETTA.

Somewhere between hopeless overpacerin and ambitious endurance runner, but one thing's certain: you'll never catch me at training looking unstylish.

THE BEGINNING.

In the summer of 2023 my sister took me along for the first time. It was far too hot, and the idea of doing intervals at that time of day had me basically checked out from the start. Accordingly, I didn't come back for quite a while after that.

MY THING.

I run in shorts even in winter and am firmly convinced that feeling slightly cold makes me faster. Last year I bought eight pairs of running shoes. And for me there's no better way to get to know a new place than to explore it on foot — I could effortlessly put together a running route ranking.

WHY RS.

I love the variety of workouts, the special events, and above all a community that always sticks together.

There's always room for more kilometres.

ON THE ROAD.

I had a place at the London Marathon but had to pull out with a heavy heart due to a stress fracture in my sacrum. My sub-3-hour marathon in Salzburg will probably always be one of my greatest running highlights. Winning the half marathon in my hometown was equally indescribable.
