NOT ONE DAY. TODAY. YOU DECIDE. YOU RUN.

BIOGRAPHY

Passionate trail runner from the Bavarian Alps, now living in Austria. I moved to Innsbruck for my studies and never left, because I discovered a better version of myself through mountain exploration and running. Although not the fastest, I found my way into ultra running, conquering peaks in summer and practicing various endurance sports in winter. From running to cycling, ski mountaineering and cross-country skiing, I have transformed myself into an athlete I never imagined. My future goals include mountain projects and the UTMB World Series.

What is your favorite training terrain and why?

Push myself to the limit in a big, planned mountain project and continue to run and explore the mountains when I'm older.

What advice would you give to your younger self just starting out in trail-running?

Faced with the challenges of trail running, the advice I would give my youngest would be to focus on the art of resilience. Cultivate your self-confidence, prioritize self-care and lean on the support of friends and family. In all situations, trust your instincts, get enough rest and take good care of your body.

What are your favorite Näak products and why?

I prefer the Protein Nut Butter for breakfast and recovery, and during my training, I prefer to eat Bars and Purees. Näak not only fuels my training and racing, the brand also aligns with my philosophy of becoming a better version every day and the importance of setting personal goals.
