am, it's been try out this time. i'm pregnant now deal. this is all, i'm a passionate runner that's have and i'm also keen to be a role model for other women to phone. so kind of i have to so i just think it's a shame that a lot of women quit their sport early on. it's like when they could still have many good years left ahead of them. yeah. before the time being the mother and the

professional athlete for a long time. it was a rarity crowns that it's 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 years eve 2022 is across. it is competing and has lost rice, the she's already 22

weeks into her pregnancy, but gives us to 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 breathing problems. usually i would have gone up the gear at the end and tried to overtake everyone, but common sense prevails. i enjoyed every major with 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 distance of 5 columbus. and then it's

slow. uh then 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 had for the professional athlete and you chapter in her life begins southwest noise, but no, it's not. it's also something new. it, i know, but it's not something new makes you happy, but it also always makes you a bit scared or intimidated. pretty 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. i am like, oh no, not so good. has always been my dream to combine both. 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 having days where you can barely get up. and that was new for me kind of thing kind of stuff. i'm just noise diesel reduced to running sessions and adapted to training in consultation with the coach and don't is pregnant competitive athlete 10 and must try and differently compared to recreational. lastly, instead of running outside, she's taken to the want to so called aqua jogging in the pool, replaced long distance runs outdoors, such a visit as a gain more and more waves,

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 strengthens oconee or vascular system. the exercise is also good for him. mind the noise is and 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 him. his mother's yeah, one is what i always find to myself is by my athletic performance and sporting success in the 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 a slattich performance. so i think it's really

a positive to change or self perception in order to improve your sense of self aware of that. and it's a and not. and i'll how to assess that the few dollars i've taught to use another method to maintain who athleticism is regular performance diagnostics. this dante will help games a to effectively tailor her training of to hook pregnancy and avoid issues as she wraps up. again. i'm not asking blake, other for both sides of the document falls using the start list. now the there are just a few weeks left before giving birth. everything is being prepared. just

a few finishing touches the left to be made in the baby's room. isn't you come live? yeah, we're really curious on the i could also imagine that in a few weeks or months that will be annoyed when there's a lot of washing to do some sort of a moment. but at the moment i've just feel excited and curious. i can't wait. noisy 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 plot is remotely with a coach in australia let's let's do more men was most kids and i was just the pregnancy and stuff. i know that i won't be training for a while to finish. i want to show them, but i don't think it's a bad thing about because all have

a new purpose in life. when a new chapter guns comes on the leaves option that i think it's a time you can never quite experience again. you've got that 1st moment 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. okay, so 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 gets, it begins working on who come back with the support of the coach. the trauma shift is that kind of can 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 mutations

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 task 8 fast pace rooms of 1000 meters. each case is finding her way back but sofa. it's a struggle right now it's not feeling so good though i was running during my pregnancy. i've changed a lot physically. i immediately lost a few kilo's, but i'm still a bit overweight. my ligaments tendons, my whole body, feel different as i'm getting to know my itself again physically most ms. carter asked where he got this to can of to training gives a head to him for his 2nd job. okay. being a mother. yeah. do

this. the oh. exactly. the fences and i'm sending all of the most beautiful thing is coming home after training and seeing the little one the other 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 about secondary unless i'm guessing how to then put in here, you can just enjoy the family life and it's really wonderful in them 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 don't want to try to come up. are the types of parts of 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 her when if they can but supporting organizations must find solutions to help young mothers who i'm to be competitive athletes. this new mother certainly believes in her ability to continue competing with homeless by the end of the dream is to be upon the podium again in the future. and i was wondering 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 and it inspires me every day. 070. so investments of the impact with you. good. the
