[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Our 3 top German runners took part in the 36th edition of the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon.\u00a0 Especially, Gabius and Heinig by their impressive performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t lift up my arms anymore when crossing the finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arne Gabius: Germany champion and 6th place finisher in 2 hours 9 min. and 59 sec.<\/p>\n

How did the birth of your son Frederik Bosse shortly before the marathon affect you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It fit perfectly, since it was 3 days beforehand.\u00a0 On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, we were in the hospital.\u00a0 On Thursday, I didn\u2019t train.\u00a0 I purposely do this in training in the marathon week, so that I leave one day free without training.\u00a0 The birth of my son was an extra motivation.\u00a0 During the race, I was so focused, I didn\u2019t have time to think about anything else.<\/p>\n

How was your third marathon in Frankfurt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It really hard with the headwinds and by the last part of the race I had problems with my left quadricep.\u00a0 I risked everything, so that I could try and reach a time of under 2 hours and 10 mins.\u00a0 I\u2019m quite happy that I reached my goal.\u00a0 The last couple of kilometers were really hard and I was really tired and quite emotional at the finish.<\/p>\n

What plans do you have for 2018?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will run a spring marathon.\u00a0 That\u2019s what I\u2019d like to do.\u00a0 I want to go to my training camp together with my family and just want to travel around.\u00a0 Especially, in the first year with my child, I want have as much time possible together.\u00a0 I am also planning a marathon in the fall.\u00a0 When it fits and I\u2019m recovered, I can imagine that I will run the 10.000 meters by the European Championships in Berlin.\u00a0 I am a distance runner and track and field are a collection from different disciplines.\u00a0 Why shouldn\u2019t I run the 25 rounds in a fully-packed Olympia stadium?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been many tears of joy running down my cheeks\u201d<\/p>\n

Katharina Heinig: German champion and 8th place finisher 2 hours 29 min. 29 sec.<\/p>\n

How were your first moments as German champion when you crossed the finished?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was over excited, I never imagined that this would happen.\u00a0 This is when the tears of joy, started to roll down my cheeks.\u00a0 Because of this I cheered.\u00a0 Also, because of the time: \u00a0I was stayed under 2 hours and 30 min.\u00a0 I had no more energy, but because of the euphoric feeling and the spectators along the course, I was able to force myself to push myself for the thank you round in the convention hall.<\/p>\n

Your own feeling about that run itself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a superb group, with whom I was underway with.\u00a0 That pacemakers did a fantastic job.\u00a0 It was a blockbuster run and in the end very hard.\u00a0 In the city the excitement and took control – and the run in the convention center was absolutely crazy.<\/p>\n

How are you looking forward to the European Championships 2018 in Berlin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is of course a goal of mine, to reach the normal A-class from 2 hours and 32 min.\u00a0 I already reached that goal.\u00a0 With the German title, this as the crown to top it off, I am ready for the European Championships.\u00a0 This eases my nerves quite a bit, that my hard work paid off so that I received the qualification for the European Championships.\u00a0 There will be a lot of younger athletes that have in mind: I can do that too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter told me in the morning, that I would place second\u201d<\/p>\n

Fate Tola: German runner up and 9th place total finisher 2 hours 30 min. and 12 sec.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about placing second by the Germany Championships and with your race in total?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around kilometer 30, I couldn\u2019t keep up the tempo anymore.\u00a0 The wind was quite strong and I had no power left.\u00a0 I am however, still quite satisfied with my results:\u00a0 I am seconds by the German Championships and I qualified for the European Champions norm, everything is just fine.\u00a0 My daughter told me before the race, that I would place second.\u00a0 The finishing stretch was wonderful in front of all of the spectators.\u00a0 Of course, I wanted to win, but that is not always possible.<\/p>\n

How was your training for Frankfurt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My preparation was very good.\u00a0 I trained like I always trained, together with my husband Musa.\u00a0 It was already my third marathon this year.\u00a0 The timing was close to the Olympics in London, but I was really motivated and I had a great memory about the marathon in Frankfurt from the previous year.<\/p>\n

What are your future plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I need to take at least a one-month break.\u00a0 And next year I will run by the European Championships in Berlin.<\/p>\n

The time before Christmas is a calorie-full sinning time.\u00a0 You go to the Christmas markets and you just can\u2019t get by without drinking a mulled wine or a punch.\u00a0 Not only that but there\u2019s more than enough sweets that you can find there.\u00a0 Does an endurance athlete have to resist these urges or is a little bit of sinning allowed?<\/p>\n

There is no forbidden food<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a study from the US from New Yorker Skidmore College, that took place over a 12-week timespan, the eating habits and weight changes were observed.\u00a0 The participants should eat only low fat and protein rich products, they also were allowed to eat what they wanted on the last day of the week and how much they wanted to eat.\u00a0 On the average, the participants lost 5 kilos of their starting weight.\u00a0 Psychologically, the \u201cCheat Day\u201d, a day in which you can eat what you like, does have positive effects.\u00a0 Because while the participants ate at the beginning of the period still quite unrestrained, most were satisfied a few weeks already after additional portion or seconds. Towards the end many used “Cheat Day” only now and then or even left it out completely.<\/p>\n

The negative side of this diet strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even this type of dieting has its dangers.\u00a0 Take a look at the list of the eating disorders, if you do this type of strategy, you\u2019ll might stay by \u201cBinge Eating Disorder\u201d.\u00a0 This is the eating disorder, in which the person has periodically the need to eat massive amounts of food with the loss of the control about how much one is eating.\u00a0 On the opposite side to Bulimia, there is no solution this to problem.\u00a0 By having a so-called, \u201cCheat Day\u201d, is the way to binge eating no so far and can lead to even more bad eating habits.<\/p>\n

Facts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whoever takes the occasional time out of his or her day to eat healthy and an low-calorie dieting, doesn\u2019t need to worry about gaining weight.\u00a0 Feasting by the Christmas season in full-throttle can be enjoyed and eating the delicious foods and sinning without having a conscious is also okay, just as long as it doesn\u2019t become a habit.\u00a0 Whoever actively wants to make it through the Christmas season with a nutritional strategie such as the so-called, \u201cCheat Days\u201d, should stay away from the eating orgies, because the way to an eating disorder is not so far away.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”medium”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
