September 24, 2023. Does it ring a bell? For our 3 Runners’ lab employees, it does. They will fully look forward to this day: the Berlin Marathon.

The Berlin Marathon. Also known as the marathon where the world record was run in 2022, where many top athletes appear at the starting line every year, and where you finish under the famous Brandenburg Gate.

Vinnie, Stefanie and melissa take you through their own Road to Berlin. For 12 weeks you can follow them as they train. 3 runners, 3 character, 3 goals.

Vinnie: sub 2h30′
Stefanie: sub 3h
Melissa: sub 4h

They each have their own story, they bring their personal road to the marathon as it really is. No content pretending to be better than it really is. Inspiring, interesting and even funny images and useful information, though. With this, they want to motivate and help you towards your (first) marathon.

One thing we can tell you in advance: you definitely don’t have to be an elite runner to take on this 42.2km. With the right motivation, it is certainly possible.

Are you going for a hazing as a marathon runner, or do you already have several on your record? You will recognize yourself in one of our three runners anyway.
