800m athlete in Vienna

it's supposed to be fun (and hard)

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I used to approach sprint training in a much, much “lighter” way, but now I see so many things I can improve to actually become faster and improve my running form.

I’ve come a long way with my posture since last year (when I had an extremely arched lower back), and fixing that has helped a lot with my knees and hip flexors. But now, every time I see myself running faster, I can also see how much faster I could still get 😂

I don’t know if that makes sense, but I’m genuinely loving the process of figuring it all out and seeing the progress.

Starting blocks are still the worst though ⚰️

choose your friends wisely, they say. you might become just like them!

we’ll be careful what we wish for, but honestly, everyone needs a friend who knows you can do better. even if that means getting up at 6am on a sunday to run 15km as a middle distance runner 😂

💌 send this to your bestie who brings out the best in you

It’s fair to say that I thought about quitting this run every single km 😂 Somehow managed to make it through, so very proud of the effort.

My gosh, the amount of times people ask me how I have the motivation to run. Guys, I DON’T 😮‍💨
Training has become part of who I am, but it took A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT (it’s the truth in my case) to get here. You will never fully love or enjoy every training session, but you will be proud of the effort you put in and the results that come from that consistency.

Show up until it becomes a habit. Once it’s a habit, you will never ask yourself if you’re going to do the workout or not. You simply close your laptop, change your clothes and go.

Even on the days when you want to quit every single step. 🌝

15 km alone is one thing. 15 km with the @viennarunningco feels more like a coffee chat with a bit of extra breathing involved 😮‍💨

second sunday in, 8am, and somehow longrun feels a little less long when you have good company and interesting conversations 🥰

threshold days are getting a little easier and that’s always nice to see 🥹 lower heart rate, we love to see it. and doing these sessions with the crew makes it 10x more fun!!

Week 3 of base training ⚡️

Not the flashy part of the season, but probably the most important one. I’m running 60-70 km a week right now, and this is what a typical base week looks like for an 800m runner

it’s all about building the engine: aerobic base, strength and endurance for the indoor season. And of course trusting that the work shows up once we get into shape 🧚🏼‍♀️

3rd week of base training going strong!!

finding company for the longer sessions definitely makes it even more fun. also getting more familiar with gels and honestly… they’re a game changer with these longer sessions ⚡️⚡️

I’m always down for new racing formats in vienna! 🏎️

pretty cool to run on a go-kart track for once and definitely not the usual t&f kind of day. community run was also very fun - thanks @runinc.store for hosting :)
