nearly vanished stuff to lie. 18 o d w the am, it's been shut out this time. i'm pregnant now deal with it all. i'm a passionate runner that's had and i'm also keen to be a role model for other women to phone. so kind of i have to for the i just think it's a shame that a lot of women quit their sport early. like when they could still have many good years left ahead of them. yeah. before the time being the mother and a professional athlete for a long time. it was a rarity is a crowns. that tends to show it's perfectly possible scale. but i think raising a child as the biggest gift life has to offer for me, it's kind of the meaning of life. but there are risks. can she get back to peak

condition? that is f, i'm becoming a mother for the 1st time. it's the 1st time i'll be giving birth. i'd be lying. if i said, i'm not afraid of what is to come and the challenges facing me to come in all the . it's new year's eve 2022 days across it is competing in has us rice, the she's already 22 weeks into her pregnancy, but gives us the wants to compete. one more time before her break, she is germany's most successful steeplechase, a since 2011, she has been a professional athlete and one, several national and international times. on the last lab i had a bit of

a briefing problem. usually i would have gone up the gear at the end and tried to overtake everyone, but common sense prevailed. i enjoyed every major of it. i knew i was on pace for a good time considering the circumstances. i would never have expected to get this sort of time in the 22nd week of my pregnancy. it makes me proud and happy and shows what i've got to end the year. this way it's really special and try to stop the, the, to time european champion and finish 20th over a distance of 5 columbus. and then it's slower than when she wasn't pregnant. in the coming months, she will no longer take part in any competitions. from now, one of the challenges lie ahead for the professional athlete and you chapter in her

life begins southwest noise, but no, it's not. it's also something new. it's i know, but it's not something new makes you happy. but it also always makes you a bit scared or intimidated pull the t 5. but in the meantime, i'm feeling very positive. i the 1st of all, it's good timing of. secondly, i'm not done with competitive sports yet. so let's see. i would like to continue. that's my way and my goal with the not so good has always been my dream to combine both. and i guess i, that's always appealed to me. why does one exclude the other? and that's why i definitely want to try this. and of course, i really hope it works out the 1st few weeks of hope pregnancy, what tough time and again is a found that her normal sporting life was going to be disrupted between the 4th and 6th week, i was feeling nauseous all the time. i felt sick from morning till night. i didn't

know what to eat. i didn't feel well at all. i had no energy or power in it for someone who usually runs a 140 kilometers a week. heading days where you can barely get up. that was new for me kind of thing, kind of stuff is noise, diesel reduced to running sessions and adapted to training in consultation with the coach and don't is pregnant competitive athlete 10 and most trained differently compared to recreational. lastly, the instead of running outside, she's taken to the want to so called aqua jogging in the pool, replaced long distance runs outdoors, essentially. so that as the gain more and more weight, it gets harder to get the distance under your belt. so at this stage of my pregnancy, as i near the end of it, i clicked on doing is a great alternative to maintain that running movement. i put in a way that is easier on the joint on

60 minutes and the water is who training today? the session strength and so cardiovascular system. the exercise is also good for him. mind the noise is on. i'm not as an outdoor runner. i quit, you all getting is not your 1st choice, of course. but now that i'm in the water regularly swimming and jogging, i notice that it is simply good for me. it's a good feeling. so i think i can continue to integrate it into my training plan until the end of my pregnancy. yeah, i'm on, i'm on the training is done for today. now it's time to go home.

gazes, daily routine has changed. less exercise means more time for herself and to upon the role of it. in the last few months, her belly has grown. she's now a close heavy uncle. but it's not just a buddy that has changed. she's learned a lot about yourself to help me and my boys. yeah. one is what i always find to myself is by my athletic performance and supporting success. and it was also how i viewed my personal value. and i think that's a big mistake to make as an athlete. i missed that because i know that i can do so much more and that i'm worth so much more than just my athletic performance. and so i think it's really positive to change your self perception in order to improve your sense of self whereas i'll to set and it's a and not an outline of how to assess that. because your daughter's on fall can use another method to maintain who athleticism is regular performance diagnostics.

this done so it will help games a to effectively taylor her training of to have pregnancy and avoid issues as she wraps up. again. i'm not asking click on default document falls start list now the there are just a few weeks left before giving but everything has been prepared. just a few finishing touches the left to be made in the baby's room, visits you come. the idea were really curious from the i could also imagine that in a few weeks or months i'll be annoyed when there's a lot of washing to do some sort of a moment. but at the moment i just feel excited and curious. i can't wait. no,

you know, and there's tons come about. the anticipation is building and gaze is feeling physically well too so well that she is still training twice a day tailored to her current condition. of course. today she is doing plaza is remotely with a coach and australia. let's let's do many was most viewed items, the pregnancy and stuff. i know that i won't be training for a while to the finish of unexploded, but i don't think it's a bad thing a lot because all have a new purpose in life. when a new chapter guns comes on the islands option that i think it's a time you can never quite experience again, you've got that 1st moments with your baby and your family is there to be intensely enjoyed. the video has come here. yeah, i'm father. just one day off to have final run. it's finally time

case. it gives birth to a healthy doing so low. the emilio keys and robot spend time with lola in the immediate aftermath of the bus. but some weeks later, training resumes gives a begins working on who come back with the support of the coach, the trauma shift, is it kind of cut? pregnancy? isn't the newness you shouldn't plan too much? just enjoy. and if you're in a good relationship and you want to bring a child into the world that's totally normal. and if there are no medical limitations given by the doctor, you can receive a physical activities soon after birth. it's called photo. you do need to know what you're doing the most. i hope that we can continue to ramp up training until the end of august, so that we can then begin for the competitive training again, not quite well actually. today's

after training and seeing the little one of you forget everything that's just happened in training that i've had, whether you want it to be faster or way 3 kilos less. that's the secondary unless i'm guessing how to then put in here, you can just enjoy the family life and it's really wonderful in the next to him. and the science position. being a mother and a professional athlete isn't easy though. many sporting organizations onset help to support athletes who have children venison spots. when i'm back to full training, i want to take my daughter to training camps with me, but that's more expensive. so i always have to take my partner or family member with me so that they can look after the baby while i'm training. there's been this done for me. i've only tried to come up a good types of parts a to this day. we still don't have the necessary structures in place to normalize taking your child with you would. you have to take your own initiative types of cases, family support when if they can let supporting organizations must find solutions to

help the young mothers who i'm to be competitive. actually this new mother certainly believes in her ability to continue competing with homeless by the dream is to the opponent podium again in the future. and that's fine. whether that's possible after my pregnancy, i don't know, but it's worth a try to sell them. i can only win at the end of the day because my child gives me joy every day and makes me smile. and it's a really cool new life is and it inspires me every day. 070. so investment i'll be in touch with you. good. the or the, the new will tell you,
