Where I come from
From Seppenrade to Texas.
I grew up in Seppenrade, a small village in Germany's Münsterland. At school I was more troublemaker than runner, until Corona hit in my final school year. Out of boredom I put on old sneakers and ran. Then again the next morning. 10 km, every day, for a year.
When my grandpa passed away, I ran 100 km through our village for him. It was brutal, and it hooked me for good. Since then I've run to every Germany match at the EURO, across the whole country from Sylt to Neuschwanstein, and to a shared win at the very first Go One More Ultra in Texas.
Along the way I built rappid., a running brand and community, and co-founded the Last Soul Ultra with André Schürrle. Today more than 675,000 people follow the journey. The rule stays the same: go one more.
