Er war Profi-Triathlet, ist Lauf- und Schwimmtrainer, und hat ein besonders Projekt: Im Laufe des Jahres 2025 startet er mit Partner Gerhard Schiemer bei der Swimrun-Weltmeisterschaft, dem Ötillö in Schweden. Bei "Lauf Alter" unterhalten wir uns im WEMOVE Runningstore Wien mit Alex Krenn. Im Gespräch geht es um persönliche Expeditionen in der Natur, letzthin beispielsweise in Nordeuropa, es geht um Strava - weil wenn es dort nicht aufscheint, ist es nicht geschehen -, das eine große Leidenschaft von Krenn geworden ist (1000 Kronen!), aber auch um das Körpergefühl beim Training: Daten ja, aber nicht nur. Besonders geht es um Swimrun - eine Sportart, die trotz wunderschöner Trails und wunderschöner Bergseen in Österreich quasi niemanden interessiert. Die Sportart ist sehr speziell, erzählt Krenn, und er reflektiert darüber, dass sich die Begeisterung für Sport in Österreich doch in Grenzen hält. Brutal formuliert. Krenn geht auf den regenerativen Charakter des Schwimmens und auf die Hassliebe zu diesem Sport ein - und gut schwimmen ist eine der Voraussetzungen, um einen Swimrun genießen zu können. Und wir erfahren, wie gut sich Gerhard Schiemer eigentlich im Wasser schlägt. Beim Ötillö sollte es schon eine Top-10-Platzierung werden, das Mindset Krenns ist jenes eines Profis, seine Motivation ist hoch, vieles ist möglich. Ach ja, erklärt wird auch, was der "Sunday Recovery Cool Downer" ist. Eine spannende Episode von "Lauf Alter", unbedingt reinhören!

Découvrez l'histoire d'Ermano Di Miceli, podcasteur depuis 2014 (avec plus de 400 épisodes à son actif) et triathlète de longue date. Il nous raconte ses débuts en triathlon, ce qui l'a amené à découvrir le swimrun, ainsi que ses défis, comme la traversée de la France en swimrun, jusqu'à ses projets de courses encore plus longues à venir, et sa préparation pour l'ÖTILLÖ 2025.Au programme :•

Camilla är obesegrad i HYROX. Sju lopp – sju segrar. Hon kommer från en bakgrund med styrketräning, funktionell fitness, triathlon och ultralöpning, men idag är det HYROX som gäller. Tillsammans med sin isländska lagkamrat satte hon nyligen världsrekord i åldersklassen 50–59, i HYROX. Camilla har alltid älskat att träna och har flera fina resultat bakom sig från ultralöpningens värld – bland annat vann hon den första upplagan av EcoTrail Stockholm 2018. Men mitt under ultralöpningskarriären då det gick som bäst så började hon få ont i kroppen. I efterhand har hon förstått att det var på grund av klimakteriet och här berättar hon öppenhjärtigt om hur hon var tvungen att göra en omstart och lära sig lyssna på kroppen på ett annat sätt.  Vi pratar om träningslust och vilodagar och om varför prestationen inte längre är allt. Det här är ett samtal för dig som vill fortsätta utvecklas, oavsett ålder, form eller gren. För du behöver inte sluta träna hårt bara för att kroppen förändras, men du kanske behöver träna lite smartare.  LÄNKAR Följ Camilla på instagram @camillaabergh Läs mer om HYROX
