What’s cool about trailrunning? In this episode, I talk with Anna Hahner an Olympian marathon runner about how and why she currently prefers to run on trails rather than roads. Anna, who moved to the Chimgau Alps two years ago, explains how nature has always been a source of energy and rest for her. As of this year, she has added a competitive edge to being in nature by racing and winning her first trail races. We talk about the impact that trailrunning has on her training, her motivation, and her future goals. Links: @hahnertwins (Instagram), Hahnertwins (Facebook), @sophie.cro (Instagram)

What does running a marathon have in common with pregnancy and giving birth? In this episode, I provide a review after each trimester of my pregnancy. Going into pregnancy and wanting to run, I did not find much information on what to expect and what to consider. With an active pregnancy now laying behind me, I would like to share my experiences on how I combined sports and pregnancy and what changed for me in terms of food, sleep, and training. At the end of the episode, I share my thoughts on similarities and differences in marathon running and giving birth, an often-heard comparison that is not entirely true.
