Zitat:Amazing, I can´t believe it. I felt good so I wanted to go out fast. I was happy that I was in position 2 so I could easily go in the front pack. I felt that step by step the other athletes were slowing down. I felt great so I started picking up one by one. The last km I realized that I only needed a slow last km to finish around 8:09, which would have already been amazing. But I kept pushing and ended running 8:01. The crowd was incredible, it is the second best atmosphere I have ever experienced after Paris. The fact to have Soufiane El Bakkali as local hero in the race definitely pushed me running that fast. I had the German Record of 8:09 in the back of my mind but I would have never thought to run that fast. What? Just one second of the European Record. Oh my god, I would have never thought that. 2023 I changed coach and last year I realized already that I was running more consistently around 8:15, but that one peak was just missing. So I knew that two years into the new coaching setting I could run even faster and I have felt that during training too. But I would have never dreamt of that, probably I won´t be able to fall asleep tonight. Next week I will run in Karlsruhe a 1500m and then in Turku my next steeple race.
