From Person to Person

Fit, lean and beautiful

Exercising and sport have been a major part of my life since I was a child.

Fit for an Entire Lifetime

My grandmother and my parents have given me the opportunity to do horse riding as a competitive sport at a very young age. I am still very grateful for this.

Movement

Five chapters of movement

From competitive sport to lifelong fitness, movement has remained a constant — even as the disciplines and goals changed.

Today

More trail. More Alps. Back on the road bike.

Today, I am increasingly drawn to mountain trail runs in the Liechtenstein Alps. There, movement, nature and concentration come together in a way that suits me perfectly.

And the road bike is back, too: after the many kilometres I used to ride in the Black Forest, I am once again enjoying every ride to the full.

  1. New disciplines

    Golf & skiing

    At the end of my vocational training or studies, I switched to golf. In addition, I am passionate about skiing.

  2. The marathon years

    More than a finish line

    Running became another passion of mine. Over more than 15 years, I completed several marathons and ultras. Before the 2018 Berlin Marathon, I decided to close the “Marathon and more” chapter.

    At dozens of running events in various countries, I met interesting people and extraordinary personalities — among them Eliud Kipchoge, the 2016 Olympic champion and marathon world record holder.

  3. Running today

    Mountain trails, the Alps & shared experience

    Although marathons are no longer at the top of my list, running remains an important part of my health and fitness. Today, I spend more time on mountain trails in the Liechtenstein Alps.

    I still enjoy training and competing with friends — with more fun and less competition. Staying close to nature remains an important part of the sports I choose.

  4. A new challenge at 54

    Kickboxing, focus & strategy

    At the age of 54, I started kickboxing with my friend Marko Rajkovic, a former world champion who now owns a prestigious fitness club in Munich. It challenges me and helps me act and think with even greater focus and strategy.

  5. Back on two wheels

    Road cycling & renewed joy

    After the many kilometres I used to ride in the Black Forest, I have rediscovered road cycling. Today, it is not about personal bests, but about rhythm, the road ahead and the joy of being back in the saddle.
