How did you get into Trail Running?

My first mountain running race was Jungfrau Marathon in Switzerland - this was actually the start of my way into Trail Running. Gradually I made the change away from the asphalt, towards the trails. In 2015 I raced at Salomon-4-Trails (Germany) - my first Trail Running event and from here I fell in love with the sport.

Who forms your team?

My team is very important for me: first of all my life partner and very best friend Simon who supports me in almost every race. My coach Thomas Hürzeler is responsible for getting me to my best shape for every race. Last but not least are my 3 Girls - supporting me mentally and keeping me well grounded.

What is your biggest goal to achieve in the sport??

My biggest goal to achieve is not to win the biggest race, but more to find the limits of my abilities while running in the mountains.

Why Compressport?

I am very proud to be part of the international team of Compressport. Since the team is not very big, we know each other very well. The support within the team is very strong.

In addition, the products I can benefit from are always of the best quality and support me in all areas of training and also in everyday life. Wherever I am, I am supported!

What is your favourite product from Compressport and why?

It is currently the Full Socks Race Oxygen. I wear them almost daily - during training and also at work in the hospital. So I always have a "light" feeling in my legs; after a long training or when I have to sit or stand a lot at work.
