POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The first Bergweg 100 is in the books.

Nicolas Lehmann was the first to complete the full 100 laps, finishing in an incredible time of under 15 hours. He was followed by Sonja Merkle, Fabio Barattini, Mario Scognamiglio and Dominik Giger - five finishers completing the full 100 km and an Everesting on the Bergweg.

A huge congratulations not only to our five finishers, but to every single person who took part. Everyone came with their own goal, their own pace and their own challenge.

More than anything, Bergweg 100 became exactly what we hoped it would be: a community event. People running together, supporting each other, helping out and sharing a very long day and night on the hill.

A very special thank you to Patrick from Gasser Timing for his incredible work throughout the entire event and for keeping everything running smoothly from start to finish.

And thank you to everyone who ran, helped, supported, cheered and was part of the first Bergweg 100.

A full Bergweg 100 report will be featured in the next episode of Lauf.Tisch.

Thanks to our small but mighty crew today 🫶
We cruised 7 km through Zürich West and for one runner it was their first time ever hitting that distance! That’s the kind of milestone we love to celebrate 🍻

It rained before and after the run, but somehow not during…
Either we got lucky, or the weather didn’t dare mess with a group powered by motivation and beer 😌

Next run: Wed 23.9. 18.30 @mikkellerzurich
All runners and paces welcome!
Every runner gets a free NA beer afterwards 🍻

LOWA & LEKI Testevent am Uetliberg 🥾⛰️

Am Uetliberg wurde getestet, gelaufen und fleissig mit Stöcken gearbeitet: Die Trailmaniacs und Lake Zuri 100 haben rund 35 Trailrunnerinnen und Trailrunner zu einem gemeinsamen Testevent eingeladen.

Im Mittelpunkt standen LOWA Trailrunning-Schuhe und LEKI Stöcke. Bei einem Stocktraining konnten die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer verschiedene Modelle ausprobieren und gleichzeitig Tipps und Tricks zum richtigen Einsatz von Stöcken im Trailrunning mitnehmen.

Nach dem Training ging es beim gemütlichen Apéro noch weiter mit dem Austausch über Schuhe, Stöcke, Trails und natürlich das Laufen.

Als zusätzliches Goodie gab es für alle Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer einen 20-%-Rabattcode für LOWA und LEKI.

Carsten war in doppelter Funktion mit dabei und berichtet in Episode 42 (erscheint morgen um 4:30 Uhr) von seinem ersten Stocktraining nachdem er schon seit fast 15 Jahren mit Stöcken läuft.

Danke an die @trailmaniacs.ch und @lakezuri100 für die Organisation und an @lowa.outdoor und @leki.trailrunning für die Möglichkeit, die Produkte ausgiebig zu testen. 🙏

Danke auch speziell an @stefontrails, @lea.marijke und Patrick Bertschi.

DNF nach 90 km am Swiss Alps 100 – und warum es trotzdem einer meiner liebsten Tage war 🏔️

Ich wollte mein zweites 160-km-Finish nach 2022. Breite Brust nach ZUT und Heuchelberg. Vielleicht etwas zu breit.

Die erste Hälfte lief wie ein Traum. 50 Minuten Vorsprung, guter Puls, alles nach Plan.

Dann Stunde 10. Ab dem Aletschgletscher liess die Lust zu essen und trinken schlagartig nach. Was ich da nicht wusste: ich würde fast 9 Stunden kaum noch etwas runterbekommen. In Bellwald ein halber Hotdog. In Reckingen rettete mich @bibu_1974 Kartoffelstock mit Salz – die einzige volle Mahlzeit in diesen 9 Stunden. Aber es reichte nicht.

In Chäserstatt dann die Wand. Stunde 19. Magen komplett dicht. Von den Sanis in eine Überlebensdecke gewickelt und zum Kunstobjekt umgestaltet 😅 30 Min Schlaf in der Garage. Dann die Entscheidung: 90 km. 5'000 Hm. Noch 70 km und drei grosse Anstiege. Ohne Energie, unkonzentriert – das Risiko war zu gross. Ganz ehrlich: es nervt mich heute noch. Aber es war wohl richtig.

Der Ausstieg stand erst fest, als ich Simon als Pacer an Janne weitervermitteln konnte. Die beiden haben gemeinsam gefinisht und einen Sonnenaufgang auf dem Breithorn erlebt 🤘

Das Swiss Alps ist ein Herzens-Event. Keine grossen Veranstalter, keine Steine als Lockmittel – dafür Aidstations mit Charm und Volunteers die helfen mit allem was sie haben. Danke Jakob und Team 🙏
Danke @endurancebub für deine super Trainingsplanung trotz meiner Feriensituation🙏🏻
Danke Bianka und Familie für Kartoffelstock. Danke Simon für den weiten Weg aus Zürich – 15 km zusammen, aber jede Minute hat gezählt. Und Carsten: 1. Platz AK 50 bei den 100 km – Wahnsinn!

Ich ziehe meine Schlüsse und komme zurück. Aber gerade tut es noch weh.

Morgen Realtalk mit Carsten auf dem lauf.tisch 🎙️

Was war euer härtester DNF? Speichert euch das für den nächsten Tiefpunkt.

This weekend I had the chance to experience part of the Swiss Alps 100 @swissalps100 in a completely different way: pacing Fabio @vic2vic2vic during his attempt to finish the 100-mile race.

After a full day of following the tracker and wondering when my night shift would actually start, at 2:47 am we finally left Reckingen together.

Almost 10 hours on the trails of the Goms and Binntal followed. Hiking through the night and into the new day, talking, calculating arrival times and cutoffs, and dealing with the typical challenges of an ultra: eating, slowing down, taking a break, getting some sleep and finding the energy to move again.

For once, it wasn’t my race. My only job was to adapt to the situation and help Fabio keep moving forward, one aid station at a time.

In Binn, after 28 hours, Fabio decided he had had enough for this time. A pity, because there was still a chance to continue, but 28 hours on such a tough course is still something to be proud of.

A great experience and a completely new way for me to be part of an ultra. Thanks Fabio and Moni for the opportunity to share a small part of this journey with you!

Week 23: Opportunities everywhere

I’m really enjoying this recovery period. I’m just running as and when I feel like it. I ran into the office on several occasions, but on Wednesday I ran into the office and then joined the @mrc_zurich from the @mikkellerzurich for a special run to commemorate global running day, I also met my friends @vic2vic2vic and @monpi_v here.

On Thursday I had a lunch run with @natanael_xxii and another colleague. On Friday there was a party at the new school of my kids and during the walk home my daughter indicated that she wanted to get fitter and that she wants to run with me. So today we did our first run together, hopefully the first of many.

Another highlight last week, is that I’m officially in the Swiss Satellite Backyard Team and with my lucky number 10! I’m looking forward to running again with so many friends in October and to represent Switzerland 🇨🇭!

Besides running I also went into the office by bike on Thursday and then I did the reverse by a different route on Friday, so this week was an active week, but also packed with several different activities.

Cycling 31 kilometers with 504 meters in elevation
Walking 18,5 kilometers with 203 meters in elevation
Running 60 kilometers, 605 meters ascending in 5:50 hours of total running time.

Marathons: 84

Week 18: fighting through the pains

I have no idea how things are going to work out in Witikon in less than two weeks, but under the circumstances I’m trying to optimize my training. When I feel the area is getting sensitive again I walk during my runs, which in itself is a good backyard simulation and a strategy I have to aim for.

I did 4 runs last week, ranging from 8 to 15 kilometers, these runs were mostly amazing as I’ve been discovering the area around our new home. I found that the area is beautiful but also very hilly. When I run on flat surfaces, I notice less sensitivity, however when I start to climb the sensitivity increases. Usually after a (short) rest the pains are gone as well, which bodes well for the backyard ultra, so my strategy has to focus on walking as much as possible, ensuring I can get rest breaks and trying to ignore the pains as long as they’re not impacting me too much and don’t cause any permanent damage.

On Thursday I had an MRI and on Thursday I’m seeing a specialist, depending on what he says is how I’ll approach Witikon.

After seeing my friend @vic2vic2vic in his @xbionic wolf shirt, I had to get me one, for the obvious reasons and I’m instantly in love and I’ve finally find the right shorts.

Last week: 50 kilometers, 1360 meters ascending in 5:08 hours of total running time and a lot of time on my feet whilst moving home.

Week 15: it’s not going well

This is probably one of the hardest posts I have ever done and it took me a long time to get my thoughts together. However with the highs come the lows and things don’t always happen as we plan them, but if life gives you lemons, you have to make 7Up.

I wrote last week about the pain that suddenly started swelling up after 83 kilometers. I made a small mistake, the pain wasn’t in my hip, it was in my loin area. Initially I was very afraid, that something was broken, but as the pain did tend to get less severe, I figured it is just stressed. After painful walks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, things started getting better.

I was hoping it would be over after a few days of rest, however things appear to be worse. On Thursday I made the very hard decision to give up my place at the X-Im!possible Backyard Ultra as I felt that my body hadn’t recovered enough yet and it was still very sensitive.

So instead I went to help out. In the morning I walked from our new home to Albisgütli over the Uetliberg and I felt good. After the race started on loop 1, @stefontrails and I walked up the Denzlerweg and down in the backwards direction and saw the runners come by three times. I had a fantastic time supporting my friends @apzurich and @nimafinisher and big congratulations on their first successful race, which ended with no finishers after 18 loops (120 kilometers and 7000 meters of elevation)!

Today I went for a run with my neighbour and my loin started flaring up again, so I need to take more rest and work on other parts of my body to ensure that I can make it to the starting line of the Witiker Backyard Ultra in 4 weeks time. It’s still a long time and on the other hand it feels like it might not be enough for me to fully recover. However this gives me the opportunity to focus on other training and I’ll switch to walking, until I feel that I am healed up enough. In the end backyard ultras involve a lot of walking.

Last week: 15 kilometers, 217 meters ascending in 1:34 hours of total running time.

March 10 marks the Tibetan Uprising of 1959 — an important day for Tibetans and supporters around the world.

Every year on this day, people come together and take peaceful action to show solidarity with Tibet.

One of these initiatives is We Run for Tibet. On March 10, people joined by running or walking a few kilometres for Tibet.
#werunfortibet

This collage shows only a small but meaningful part of the many people who joined on that day.

A big thank you to everyone who joined and showed solidarity with Tibet. 🙏
