Hey there! It’s me, Jan-Ole, 26 years old and a runner since 2021. May I briefly introduce myself to you? 🙌🏼
I’ve been living in Innsbruck since September 2024 (!). So now you’ll find me not only in road races but also out on the trails. 🏔️🏃🏼♂️
You’re in the right place if you’re looking for tips on getting started with running or if you want to make improvements as an ambitious athlete. ❤️🤌🏼
You’re also warmly invited to join me on my journey through the world of sports. I not only enjoy running but also love hiking and cycling. In addition, I’m gradually working my way into the world of triathlon, step by step. 🏊🏼🚴🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️
And yes, maybe you’re one of the few who are also interested in personal bests:
10 km – 35:29 🧨
Half marathon – 01:18:39 🚀
Marathon – 02:57:57 ☄️
Since you looked through all the slides and actually read all the way down here, here’s a fun fact for you:
I worked as a DJ for several years, mainly playing music at private family celebrations - and sometimes even at public events with up to 1,000 attendees. And yes, this song right here is my favorite song. 😄🥳
#running #runner #laufen #laufenmusses #läufer #innsbruck #tirol #triathlete #triathlon
It doesn’t matter when, how, where, how fast, with whom, or for how long – the main thing is that you’re having fun!

Here are a few impressions from yesterday in the finish area of the race in Verona. 🏁🇮🇹💥🏅🥳
These pictures perfectly capture how much yesterday’s result and my new personal best of 01:18:46 in the half marathon distance mean to me. 🏃🏼♂️🎉🙌🏼🥹
For some of you, a pace of 3:42 might seem unbelievable or almost unimaginable, but in the end, it’s the result of hard work over the past two years. The development of my half marathon PB shows very clearly that improving from a race pace of 4:42 minutes per kilometer to 3:42 is not impossible:
- 07/2022: 1:39:13 (Schwerin Fünf-Seen-Lauf)🚀
- 06/2023: 01:29:23 (Hamburg half marathon)🚀🚀
- 11/2024: 01:18:46 (Verona half marathon) 🚀🚀🚀
Before I start working on further improvements to my personal bests, though, I’ll be taking some time off for the off-season. ⛷️🚴🏼♂️🧖🏼♂️🏊🏼😎 #newpb #run #running #sports #sport #personalbest #halfmarathon #laufen #laufenmusses #geileslaufschwein #verona #italy #motivation #immerweiter #fikoexpress
What a fight at the Wings for Life Run in Innsbruck - pushing through the pain, holding on until the very end, and taking the win. 🏆 🥇
But above all, this run was for those who can’t run. ❤️
(Note: The distance is not comparable to athletes who started at the Flagship Runs. We had in Innsbruck GPS issues. In reality, I ran somewhere around 45-46 kilometers.)

What a day and what a fight. Today I won the Innsbruck Wings for Life Run @wflworldrun.innsbruck . ❤️🔥
I was so lucky that I went out very fast at a 4:05/km pace, because from kilometer 41 onwards I really started to fall apart. The runners in second and third place, on the other hand, were able to hold their pace really well, so it turned into a proper battle right until the end. 🏁
In the end, I only managed to bring home the win and the course record in Innsbruck of 47.5 km because I had been so fast early on. I’m just incredibly happy that I was able to get it done. It was a pure fight, and it felt like an endless wait until the other two runners still in the race were caught by the Catcher Car around kilometer 45. 🥵
A huge thank you especially to the people who supported me with nutrition and paced me for parts of the run. @lukas_aldi@anton_adler_@running_dutchman@rike.knape@basefive_@runlikewater.s 💥🥰
And most importantly: this performance was for those who can’t run. ❤️
(Note: The distance is not comparable to athletes who started at Flagship Runs. The athletes in Innsbruck sometimes had major GPS issues. In reality, I ran somewhere around 45 km.)

@innsbruckalpine 2026 – K25 Race Report 🏔️🥾
What a day! 💥
Even though I’m currently only using trails as a way to balance out my regular training routine, the Innsbruck Alpine is an event I definitely wanted to take part in. 🙌🏼
Just like last year, I lined up for the K25 again this year: 26 km with 860 m of elevation gain.
When the race started in Mutters at 12:30, I felt really good, and for the first 14 kilometers I was able to keep things moving really well, apart from a few side stitches. But then, on the first big climb towards the Nordkette, it absolutely knocked the lights out of me. From kilometer 18 onward, I started cramping in places where I didn’t even know I had muscles 😵💫. Incidentally, I had never had cramps during a race before (only in my calves after a few tough swim sessions 😂).
The heat probably played its part too, causing my legs to shut down more and more. 🥵 It was impossible for me to run the big downhill section because my entire lower body kept cramping up. It was a Herculean task for me not to stop and just say screw it all. ☹️
But I forced myself to the finish line, also thanks to the amazing support from my people along the course. ❤️ @vytaskunigeliukas@nina.wtmy@bernd.lange97@ronja.brd@rike.knape@nataly_tuzova@michaalfen7@marek_skalak@davidruggenthaler@sarah_._si
So, in the end, I wasn’t able to improve on my time from last year (although the course was slightly longer this year), but I did at least finish in 46th place (02:31:48), compared to 69th place in 2025 (02:30:12).
That definitely makes me proud, but it also leaves me with a few questions: What would have been possible if I actually trained on trails? Don’t I live in Innsbruck, with ideal conditions for this sport? Could I develop a love for this sport, maybe even a bigger one than for triathlon or road running?
What is it, really, that attracts me more to triathlon than to sports in the mountains?
