About Jakob

When I started running I had no idea what I was doing. Once my hobby became an obsession I started to realize how many factors play into running success and becoming a better version of oneself. Over the years I have gathered a lot of knowledge about the sport of running and various training methods. This process of seeking information started while I was studying abroad in the USA (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) where I was first introduced to the running culture and community. Once I moved back to Germany in 2019 I started to go and travel to more events and reach out to other runners to share experiences and make new connections. Since then I have drastically improved my own results and have experienced how strongly running can unite people. With all the things I have learned it made sense to me to start helping others achieve their goals. There is no more rewarding feeling! Als ich anfing mit dem Laufen hatte ich keinen Schimmer was ich tat. Sobald mein Hobby sich zu einer Leidenschaft entwickelte habe ich realisiert wie viele Faktoren Einfluss auf ein erfolgreiches Training haben und dazu führen die beste Version eines Selbst zu werden. Über die Jahre habe ich viel Wissen über den Sport und verschiedene Trainingsmethoden zusammengetragen und konnte meine eigenen Resultate verbessern. Dies begann während ich in den USA (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) studiert habe und dort zum ersten Mal in die Laufkultur und -community Einblick erhielt. Seit ich in 2019 nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt bin habe ich einige Laufevents besucht und bin zu vielen verschiedenen Rennen gereist, um andere Läufer kennenzulernen und Erfahrungen auszutauschen. Während ich weiter nach schnelleren Zeiten strebe, macht es für mich nur Sinn mein Wissen zu teilen und anderen beim erreichen Ihrer Ziele zu helfen. Es gibt kein lohnenswerteres Gefühl! 17x Marathoner PR: 2:42:29
