ROAD TO 2027.

This year, I achieved more than I expected, even without the preparation I had hoped for.

And it made me wonder what’s possible when I really put in the work, stay consistent, and give it everything I’ve got.

New races. New challenges. New goals.

Some of them will push me further than I’ve ever gone before. And I know it won’t always go according to plan.

But that’s exactly what makes the journey worth it.

These are my plans for 2027.

Let’s see where this road takes me.

Follow the journey.

Progress is rarely a straight line.

There will be setbacks.
There will be doubts.
There will be moments when things don’t go as planned.
And days when you just don’t feel like showing up.

But that’s all part of the process.

Don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you believe in.

At the end of the day, it’s always you vs you.

I don’t know exactly what the next months will bring.
But I know where I want to go.

So I’ll keep showing up.
Keep doing the work.
And keep moving forward.

Being able to do something over and over and over again.
That’s how you start big movements.
That’s how you get big results.

It’s not about one big effort.
It’s about the small wins, every single day.

That’s consistency.

The journey starts here.

Some days I don’t run to train.
I run to breathe.

3 rules. One goal.

@runrome_themarathon 2027 — SUB 3:00.

To get myself in the best shape for the 2027 trail race season, I want to challenge myself on the road.

The goal is to build a strong aerobic base, improve my fitness and develop some race toughness along the way.

The rules:

01 — Strength training.
Keep hitting the gym to build a strong and resilient body.

02 — Hill sessions.
Keep running trails and spending time in the mountains.

03 — Consistency.
Keep showing up. Week after week.

Let’s see what’s possible over 42.2 km.

Time goes by faster than you think.

One day you’ll look back,
make sure you gave it everything.

RACE RECAP ⛰️🔥

@kalkkoegeltrail K30

📍 Stubaital – Telfes
📏 30 km
⛰️ 2.050 m elevation gain
⏱️ 3:30:11

Not the race I was prepared for. After the injury, there was no time to train on the trails again, but I wanted to finish the season knowing I could trust my ankle again.

And I could.

My ankle felt great. No pain, no problems, just perfect.

Unfortunately, the rest of my body had other plans. I didn’t feel great in the days before the race. My legs were heavy from the first kilometers, and from km 18 on, I was fighting cramps in both legs.

But quitting wasn’t an option.

In the end, I managed to fight my way to P3. 🥉

One thing this race reminded me of:
Your mind can take you further than you think.

Considering where I was just a few weeks ago, I’m more than happy with this one.

Big thanks to @alpinresortstubaierhof for the perfect training and recovery environment and @therapiezentrum.stubai for the great physio support.
You both played a big part in getting me back on that start line. 🙏

And a huge thank you to everyone who supported me out there — especially @jonasegger .🤝

This was just the beginning.
2027 is going to be exciting. 👀

Some days you don’t feel like it.
Some days you can’t wait to go.
Some days everything clicks.
Some days nothing does.

But every day counts.

Show up. Stay honest. Beat yesterday.
