Wie war Ihr Verh\u00e4ltnis zum Laufen als Kind und Jugendlicher?<\/span>Es ist lustig, ich habe meine wahre Leidenschaft f\u00fcr das Laufen erst sehr sp\u00e4t entdeckt. In der Schule habe ich es gehasst, weil ich bei Sprints schrecklich war. Wir haben nur kurze Strecken wie 100m, 200m oder 1500m trainiert. Und eigentlich war ich auf allen schlecht! Mir war nicht klar, dass ich gut auf Langstrecken sein k\u00f6nnte, das kam mir nie in den Sinn. Also nahm ich an, ich sei einfach schlecht im Laufen und h\u00f6rte auf. \u00a0<br><br><span class=\"interviewq\">Wie sah das Aufwachsen f\u00fcr Sie eigentlich aus?<\/span>Ich bin wirklich auf dem Land aufgewachsen, in einem kleinen Dorf namens Rous Lench. Es war idyllisch - ich verbrachte ganze Tage mit meinen Freunden drau\u00dfen, kletterte auf B\u00e4ume, erkundete die Gegend und war von der Natur umgeben. Unsere Eltern machten sich keine Sorgen, sie sahen uns einfach am Ende des Tages. Es war eine sorglose, gl\u00fcckliche Kindheit. \u00a0<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><span class=\"interviewq\"><span style=\"white-space-collapse: preserve;\">Wann begannen sich die Dinge f\u00fcr Sie zu \u00e4ndern?<\/span><\/span>Bis 2015, als ich f\u00fcr mein Jurastudium nach London zog, habe ich nicht viel gelaufen. Ich war Unternehmensjuristin, hatte gerade eine 18-monatige Reise hinter mir und f\u00fchlte mich wirklich unfit. Ich wollte Leute kennenlernen und trat einem Laufclub bei. Das Laufen wurde irgendwie zu meinem sozialen Leben. \u00a0<br><br>Als ich im Rahmen von Lockdown entlassen wurde, habe ich mich f\u00fcr einen halben Ironman angemeldet, um mich zu besch\u00e4ftigen. Aber da die Schwimmb\u00e4der geschlossen und das Radfahren kompliziert war, bin ich einfach viel gelaufen. Ein Trainer sah mich im Park und fragte, ob ich Hilfe br\u00e4uchte. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, was ich da tat - ich hatte buchst\u00e4blich einen Triathlonplan gegoogelt. Von da an gab mir der Trainer Struktur, und die Reise begann.\u201d \u00a0<br><br><span class=\"interviewq\">Wie haben Sie die Zeit, in der Sie auf h\u00f6herem Niveau zu laufen begannen, mit Ihrer Arbeit als Vollzeit-Anwalt ausgeglichen? \u00a0<\/span>Es war anstrengend, morgens um sechs Uhr aufzustehen, um zu trainieren, mindestens 12 Stunden am Tag ins B\u00fcro zu gehen und dann abends wieder zu trainieren. Das war eine harte Zeit. Es war sehr anstrengend und wirklich schwer auszugleichen.

Der Wechsel von der Juristerei zum Profisport war ein gro\u00dfer Vertrauensvorschuss. Jura war eine sichere und prestigetr\u00e4chtige Karriere, w\u00e4hrend sich der Sport unsicher und unbest\u00e4ndig anf\u00fchlte. Es war im Jahr 2022, als ich meinen ersten Vertrag unterschrieb. PUMA kontaktierte mich zuerst \u00fcber Instagram - ich dachte, es sei Spam! Diese Partnerschaft gab mir endlich die Sicherheit, die Juristerei an den Nagel zu h\u00e4ngen und mich ganz auf den Laufsport zu konzentrieren.

Sie gaben mir von Anfang an das Gef\u00fchl, Teil einer Familie zu sein. Andere Marken, mit denen ich sprach, waren formell und streng, aber PUMAs Ansatz war unterst\u00fctzend und pers\u00f6nlich. Diese Unterst\u00fctzung ist seither ungebrochen. Ich kann mich voll auf das Training und die Rennen konzentrieren, weil ich wei\u00df, dass PUMA mir vertraut.

At school I hated it because I was terrible at sprints. We only practiced short distances like 100m, 200m or 1500m. And in fact, I was bad at all of them! I didn\\u0026rsquo;t realize I might be good at long distance, it never came up to mind.

It was idyllic - I would spend whole days outside with friends, climbing trees, exploring, being surrounded by nature. Our parents didn\\u0026rsquo;t worry, they\\u0026rsquo;d just see us at the end of the day. It was a carefree, blissful childhood. \\u0026nbsp;\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;span class=\\u0026quot;interviewq\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;span style=\\u0026quot;white-space-collapse: preserve;\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;When did things begin to change for you?\\u0026lt;\/span\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;\/span\\u0026gt;I didn\\u0026rsquo;t do much running until 2015, when I moved to London for law school. I was a corporate lawyer, had just finished 18 months of traveling, and felt really unfit. I wanted to meet people, so I joined a social running club. Running became somehow my social life. \\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;When I was on redundancy leave in Lockdown, I signed up for a half Ironman to keep myself busy. But with pools closed and cycling complicated, I ended up just running a lot. A coach saw me in the park and asked if I needed help. I had no idea what I was doing \\u0026ndash; I had literally googled a triathlon plan. From there on, coaching gave me structure, and the journey all began.\\u0026rdquo; \\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;span class=\\u0026quot;interviewq\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;How did you balance the period of starting running on a higher level while still working as a full-time lawyer? \\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;\/span\\u0026gt;It was exhausting \\u0026ndash; getting up at six in the morning to train, going to the office for at least 12 hours a day, and then train again in the evening.

Leaving law for professional running was a big leap of faith. Law was a secure and prestigious career, while sport felt uncertain and volatile. It was in 2022, when I signed my first contract.
