Who’s gonna carry the boats?

Why do you run?

I enjoy other people’s company and being healthy and maintaining weight is secondary benefit. It will take you places and since I like to travel, I always try to find unique places to run.

Describe your best marathon memory.

Seeing my family cheering me on during Berlin marathon at many places with large handmade banner and celebrating with them at the end

Why do you pace?

I love to help other runners achieve their goals and I like to meet new people sharing the same goals as me

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I started with large group one time, and then a lot of runners overestimated their abilities and slowly dropped off. But one lady was very determined, and she stuck with me the entire time. We came across the finish line together and she had a huge PR. Then she thanked me and said she would not be able to finish in such a good time without my help.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I bring positive attitude to the whole race experience, and I’m known to hold the pace through races and training sessions. I have many insights and I’m always happy to chat during our time together.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Trust your training, have the right nutrition prepared, nothing new on a race day, Vaseline and good socks are your best friends, smile for photos.
