Why I almost didn’t participate

The virtual Vienna Night Run was open for participation between the 22nd and 30th of September.
As you can read in my article about the Mammutmarsch Wien 2020 100km, I hurt my foot.

As such, my foot still hurt when I was supposed to start my personal virtual Vienna Night Run.
In the end, I waited till the last possible day and did run the 5km.

Vienna Night Run at daytime

Since this running event was virtual, every participant could choose on their own, at which time to start during the given timeframe, between the 22nd and 30th of September, and where to run the 5 kilometers.

As mentioned above, I decided to wait till the last possible starting point.
Therefore, I did my 5km run on the 30th of September in the morning. My foot still hurt, but that shouldn’t stop me from taking part in my first virtual run.
Giving up is not part of my mindset. It was bad enough not to run several times during the virtual run week and then choose from the different results and only submit the best time.

For the 5km run, I did choose the running track I usually run on all my other training.
Because I’m very familiar with this route, there were no unforeseeable surprises, so it was a smooth run.
The running track where I regularly run is located in the 17. district of Vienna. It starts on the Alszeile and leads to the direction of Neuwaldegg. When I do 10km runs, it even goes through the Schwarzenbergallee.
It is really nice to run there. The first half on this track goes slightly uphill, and therefore when you are running the second half, or back to where you started, it goes all the way slightly downhill.

The final result of my first virtual run

My goal was to finish the 5km run within 23 minutes or less. This time, I didn’t achieve it, but I’m still happy that I participated in the run.
Since I was out of my normal training routine, I could only run the 5km distance in exactly 25 minutes. It’s still a passable result, but not what I was aiming for. Next time will be better again  .

After the run, I submitted my result on the official online platform from the running event organizer. This was quite easy. I had to upload a screenshot from my favorite running app as proof of my participation. As such, I took the screenshot from my Garmin app and uploaded it.

As you can see below, I achieved the 286 place at the virtual Vienna Night Run this year.
That’s still quite okay, in my opinion.

Next year again?

Let’s see what happens next year. I think if there will be a non-virtual Vienna Night Run next year, I will again participate. If it’s virtual, I don’t know if I will join the event.

If you are interested in which other running events I attended in 2020, you can find them and a short history of my other attendances on past events in this blog article.

The Mammutmarsch organizers

The Mammutmarsch organizers perfectly organized the whole event even due to all the Covid-19 restrictions. Every participant had to wear face masks to cover the mouth and nose whenever there was contact with other participants.
There were three starters groups to limit the groups of participants to the allowed number of people during sports events.

You can find more info about the organizers in my previous blog post about the Little Mammut Wien 55km.

The starting groups of the event

This time, the Mammutmarsch Wien 100km had three starting groups, and you had to sign up for one of them. This was necessary because of the Corona restrictions.
There were the following groups where you could register for:

• Group 1: Start time: 12:00, targeted finishing time lower than 22 hours
  
• Group 2: Start time: 13:30, targeted finishing time between 21 and 24 hours
  
• Group 3: Start time: 15:30, targeted finishing time between 22 and 26 hours

Since my goal was to finish the 100km in less than 21 hours, I signed up for Group 1.

Mammutmarsch Wien – the 100km hiking route

The Mammutmarsch Wien 100km hiking route started in the 10th district of Vienna. After the start, we followed the course through the 12th, 13th, and 14th districts and passed Schönbrunn, walked around the Lainzer Tiergarten, followed the Wienfluss, and headed up Schottenhof where the first supply station was located.

Over the whole course, there were four supply stations, always after approx. 20km.

After the first supply station, I followed to route, left Vienna, hiked through Klosterneuburg, and then back again to Vienna to the second supply station.

Then the route followed the Donauinsel, led us to Langenzersdorf, then back to Vienna into the 21st district, and then to the third supply station located in the 20th district.

By this time, we already passed the 60km mark.

Now the hiking route led us back to the Donauinsel until Mannswörth where the last supply station was.

For the last 20km, the course led us back to Vienna bypassing Schwechat and then hiking through the 11th district, and finally back to the 10th district.

My personal experience

As mentioned before, the whole 100km hike was an incredible experience. I was able to finish the course after 19 hours and 19 minutes. The first 80km went really well. After 50km, I had to take care of some blisters which I had on the heels of both feet. Besides that, everything was fine.

Unfortunately, the last 20km were tough because my feet started to hurt, and I could barely move in the end. But I finished anyway. It’s really a mindset thing if you are able to finish the 100km or not.

During the whole hike, I drank approx. 14-liter water, eat some High-Protein bars, and Protein Brownie from Myprotein, PowerBar Power Gel Shots with extra caffeine (amazon.de), and salted peanuts.

In addition to the food, I had the following liquid energy gels with me:
Dextro Energy Energy Gel (amazon.de) and PowerBar Power Gel Hydro (amazon.de).

Besides all the food I carried with me, I also eat something at the supply stations too.

As already mentioned, I finished the 100km after 19 hours and 19 minutes. It was just amazing to get this done!

I almost burned 8.000 calories, and I totally destroyed my feet.

More details can be found on my Strava profile.

Aftermath and what’s next

I already mentioned that my foot was totally over. I could only hardly use my right foot the weeks after the hiking event. Since I didn’t go to a doctor, I think I had tendonitis in the foot. My foot hurt so much, and I couldn’t move it to the full range. If you want to learn more about tendonitis, read this page.

I already plan to attend the next 100km hike, which will hopefully take place next year, but let’s see and regularly check the page here.

My past running experience

If you are interested in how I came to running and how it all began, I recommend you to read the “My past running experience” section in this article.

Let’s see what happened in 2019

In 2019 I decided to start running again after some years of a break.

I joined 5 running/hiking events and finished all of them with a good result.

Check my post years article for more info about those events.

Guess what; I still like to run, and I love the feeling of running! I enjoy running at least three times a week in the morning before I start to work on my current project – learney.com.

Follow me on Strava if you are interested in how my times are!

The running events I plan to attend in 2020

Get your start number

There were two dates when the organizers handed out the start numbers.
You could get it either one day before the run, on Friday between 16:00 and 18:00, or the day of the race between 11:00 and 12:30.
You were able to pick your start number up at the sports ground Marswiese. The same place where the Hernalser Herbstlauf happened some weeks ago.
I decided to get my start number on Saturday. As such, I was there at Marswiese at approximately noon and picked it up and got a functional running t-shirt because I was one of the first 300 people registered for the 71. International Wiener Höhenstraßenlauf.

The transport to Leopoldsberg

The sports ground Marswiese was also where the transport via bus to Leopoldsberg was leaving for all participants.
At 1 p.m., four buses left the sports ground Marswiese and drove all runners to the start at Leopoldsberg.
Unfortunately, it started raining a bit on Leopoldsberg.
We still had to wait 35 minutes until the race started. One of the buses was there to store all the clothes we didn’t need for the race.
Since the bus had to leave the parking spot at Leopoldsberg 10 minutes before the race started, everybody put their jackets and so on back into the bus.
The bus waited later at the sports ground Marswiese, where the finish of the 71. Wiener Höhenstraßenlauf was so that everybody was able to get their clothes after the run.

The Wiener Höhenstraßenlauf itself

Punctually at 2 p.m., the 71. International Wiener Höhenstraßenlauf started.
The Wiener Höhenstraße was closed for all traffic during this time – precisely from 14:00 till 16:00.

It was a great experience to run on the Wiener Höhenstraße.
When the race started, it had stopped raining, and there was even a bit of sunshine.
Unfortunately, the weather got worse during the run again.
After 8 kilometers, the organizers even had arranged a small supply station with water and some isotonic drinks. I consumed nothing there.
Shortly after I passed this supply station, heavy rain, storm, and even thunder started.
It was around 12°C, and with all these f***ing weather, my clothes and shoes and everything got wet.
That was an exciting running experience, but nothing that needs to repeat during upcoming runs.

The course of the 71. Wiener Höhenstraßenlauf was 14.3 kilometers long.
I finished as runner 78 among 177 runners on that day with 1 hour and 12 minutes.

I can hardly recommend this running event for anybody. As mentioned before, it was an amazing experience. The most important thing is that you are normally not able to run this course because it’s on a normal street which is not intended to be used by runners. The street is only closed once per year for this awesome running event of the Wiener Höhenstraßenlauf.

The Wiener Höhenstraße is a very old historic street which was opened in 1935. If you want to learn more about the Wiener Höhenstraße, please follow this link.

If you are interested in which other running events I attended in 2019, you can find them and a short history of my other attendances on past events in this blog article.

About the organizers of the Little Mammut Wien

The Mammutmarsch team perfectly organized the whole event.

They have a great statement and mission which I like to share with you:

Mammothmarch is an adventure. Mammothmarch means to blow up boundaries.
We have only one mission: We want to show you that you can accomplish anything. No matter how much it hurts, no matter how impossible something seems to you, we’ll show you that you can do it!

Be on time for the Little Mammut Wien 55km

The start and also the course’s goal was at the ASV Wien Sportbad, Arbeiterstrandbadstraße, in the 21st district of Vienna.

The organizers asked everybody to be there at least half an hour in advance to get a participant’s booklet with all the maps.
If you had ordered a t-shirt, it was also enough time to get it without stress.
Since I was part of the second starter block, which started at 8:40, I decided to be there at approximately eight o’clock.

And so it was, I was there at eight o’clock, picked up the booklet and my new t-shirt, stored everything within my backpack, and waited for the start.

The hiking route

At 8:40, I started my first step to get the 55 kilometers done.

I went through the Donaupark straight to the Donauinsel. Then I had to cross the blue Danube via the Donaustadtbrücke to follow the course to the Viennese Prater.

I passed the Lusthaus (you can see it on one of the pictures below) and walked through the Praterhauptallee directly to the first supply station.
At this and the other two supply stations organized by the Mammutmarsch team, cookies, cereal bars, water, isotonic drinks, bananas, and much more were there to choose from.
They did an awesome job by providing all those food and drinks.

From the Viennese Prater, the route switched over to the Donaukanal, which I followed until Klosterneuburg.
Shortly before I arrived at Klosterneuburg, I realized that a big blister just started to arise on my right heel.
Therefore, I had decided to put a blister patch on it to mitigate more significant issues.

In Klosterneuburg was the second supply station. At this time, I had walked almost 23 kilometers already.

After a short break – by the way, I did rest only for 5 to 10 minutes at all three supply stations – I had to walk up to Leopoldsberg. That was the steepest part of the whole route.

Leaving the city – going through the woods

It was a real nature deep dive. You know, that’s one of Vienna’s many great things – Nature is just around the corner.

From Leopoldsberg, I followed the Höhenstrasse and went over to Kahlenberg.
Afterward, I passed the Vogelsangberg, Hermannskogel, and Schützengraben and arrived in lower Austria.

There I went a short time on a street through Weidlingbach. After leaving the road again, I headed back into the course of Vienna, following the Wurzeltrail around Simonsberg and back into the direction of Höhenstrasse to cross it again.

Entering the city again

In Neustift am Walde, I left the woods behind me. At this time, I already finished almost 38 kilometers and was close to the third and last supply station.

After the last supply station, I followed the Agnesgasse, the Sieveringer Strasse, and the Paula-Wessely-Weg and passed many vineyards on this part of the route.

I went back through Vienna’s nineteenth district down to Nussdorf, where I passed the blue Danube again. This time via the Schemerlbrücke and the Nordbrücke.

At this time, I already walked 50 kilometers. Therefore it was time to tackle the last 5 kilometers on my way to the goal.

The last 5 kilometers took me along the Donauinsel and, in the end, once again through the Donaupark.

At the end of my 55 kilometers hike, the organizers from the Little Mammut Wien 55km cheered for every finisher. It was an outstanding experience.

I was able to finish the whole course within approximately nine hours.
I would say that’s quite a good finishing time.
At least, I’m very proud of myself.

The weather

The weather on this Saturday was quite mixed.

Most of the time, it was cloudy. From time to time, it even rained a bit, but that wasn’t too bad. Once during my nine-hour walk, I thought it would maybe make sense to put a raincoat on my backpack, but then the rain stopped again, and I decided not to put it on.

The temperature during the whole day was between 15 and 17°C.
In my opinion, the perfect temperature for such a hiking event like the Little Mammut Wien 55km.

My rations

Besides the food and drinks I consumed at the supply stations, my provision during the Little Mammut Wien 55km were as follows.

My backpack has a reservoir that holds up to 3 liters. I filled it with 3-liter pure water and refilled it once at the third supply station.

To eat, I had two High-Protein bars and one Protein Brownie from Myprotein with me.
I also had three packs of PowerBar Power Gel Shots with extra caffeine (amazon.de) in my backpack and a small bag of salted peanuts.

In addition to the food, I had some liquid energy gels with me.
Exactly three pieces of Dextro Energy Energy Gel (amazon.de) and four parts of PowerBar Power Gel Hydro (amazon.de).

During the whole hike, I never had the feeling of being hungry or thirsty.
I think it was just the right amount of rations to carry with me.

The equipment

Let’s start with the socks I wore during the Little Mammut Wien 55km.
They were just some normal socks. No special hiking or whatever socks. Which maybe also explains the blisters I got.

The shoes I’ve chosen to wear during this event were from Hoka One One. I decided to give the Hoka One One Stinson ATR 5 model a chance because the Mammutmarsch team recommended them on their blog.
Besides the blisters I got from them in combination with wearing the wrong socks, I have to say that they are super soft and comfy.

I extra bought hiking pants for this event. It is a Columbia Men’s Silver Ridge Convertible Pant (amazon.de). I never thought that it could be so comfy as it was in the end. It’s a great hiking pant.

Underneath the hiking pant, I had put on calf compression stockings (amazon.de) because I had had a good experience with it during my former participation at other running events. I have the feeling that my legs do not get tired so fast when I’m wearing them.

The backpack I used is a CamelBak Fourteener 24 Hydration Pack, 100oz (amazon.de). I’m very picky when it comes to backpacks, but this one is great.
It fits well, has more than enough space to store and carries many things, and comes with a three-liter reservoir.
I had all the rations which I mentioned above in it. Besides that, there was my jacket, a second pair of shoes, a backpack raincoat (amazon.de), a reusable Rain Poncho (amazon.de), my Petzl Actik Core Led headlamp (amazon.de), some blister badges, some tissues, and the participant’s booklet within my backpack.

The watch which I’m using is a Garmin Fenix 3. For this event, I used it together with a chest strap. I can tell you, don’t use the chest strap for a hike like the Little Mammut Wien 55km. It chafed, and I got parts of my skin around my chest red and sore. That’s not pleasant.

Let’s see, maybe next time I will use hiking sticks also. But I don’t know yet.

The days after the Little Mammut Wien 55km

After I finished the Little Mammut Wien 55km, I was done in, but I was still having a good mood and able to smile (see the finisher picture above).
My legs hurt, and I had a big blister on each of my heels.
I did take public transport and headed home. Trust me; I was never moving so slow like on this way back home.

On the day after the Little Mammut Wien 55km and even till Wednesday during the following week, my feet still hurt because of those big blisters.
Besides the blisters, my legs were back to normal again already on Monday.

What’s next?

My next big goal is to be part of the Mammutmarsch 100km early next year. Therefore, I’ll sign up for it soon!

You may ask yourself, why is he doing such a thing. That’s easy to answer. The first time I learned about 100km runs was when I read the book “Can’t hurt me” from David Goggin’s. It’s really inspiring, so I thought I’d like to try a 100km march on my own.

You are curious why I share this experience with you, no problem. You can get a hint here.
If you want to know more about me or even get in contact with me, you can find more info on my contact page.

This was my second participation at this running event. The first one was five years ago, as you can read here. In 2014 I finished the run after 27 minutes straight (more or less).
My goal for this year was a bit more ambitious. I wanted to finish the run under 24 minutes.

The Vienna Night Run is distance-wise comparable with the Hernalser Herbstlauf, where I had run just two days before. The course length at the Hernalser Herbstlauf is 5.1km, at the Vienna Night Run, it is 5km.
Since I had to run half of the course uphill and the other half downhill at the Hernalser Herbstlauf, I thought the Vienna Night Run course would be a bit easier for me since Vienna’s Ringstrasse is almost flat (no big up- and downhill parts).

The actual Vienna Night Run …

At 20:16, the countdown of the start at the Vienna Night Run was over, and the crowd started moving. First, I had to start running slow because there were so many people all around me. After some meters, I began to run by the slower runners at a 4min/km pace and even faster.
This part of the run was very exhausting. I can tell you it’s not easy to find a way through all the people and still hold the pace.

My pace got slower during the run and finally settled somewhere at about 4:50min/km. Overall I had an average pace of 4:35min/km, which is quite good, I would say.

I finished the run after 22 minutes and 57 seconds. As such, I achieved my self-set goal.

The Vienna Night Run is an incredible event. When else do you have the opportunity to run on Vienna’s Ringstrasse otherwise? If you decide to join too next year, we maybe see each other there.

My Hernalser Herbstlauf 2019 recap

Shortly after 10 a.m., I started running. The first few meters, I ran too fast, almost at a pace under 4min/km. As such, I reduced my pace to approx. 4:20min/km. I reduced my pace even more to something at around 5:00min/km throughout the whole route.

As soon as the course left the sports place, I had to run uphill for almost 2km.
Since running uphill is nothing that I’m used to, that was a quite challenging route-section for me.
At this course, there’s a vertical meter difference of about 77m. That means I had run uphill for the first half of the whole route and afterward downhill for the second half of the race.

On this day, the weather was good. It was windy, but it had almost 18°C. Maybe a bit less wind would have been excellent, but besides that, the weather was just right.

In the end, I finished my run after 23 minutes and 19 seconds. My goal was to finish the 5.1km at the Hernalser Herbstlauf 2019 in less than 24 minutes – as such, I would say, I successfully reached my goal.

The best part ever, I still can’t believe it. I did the 3rd place within my gender-age-group and even got a beautiful trophy for it.

Here you can see a more detailed overview of my Hernalser Herbstlauf 2019 result. MaxFun Sports did the timekeeping.

So far, so good!
Maybe we see each other next year at the Hernalser Herbstlauf 2020!

It was a great, well-organized event, even when they didn’t have enough finisher bags for all of those people who participated in the end.

The weather was great! It had 21°C to 24°C, it was sunny without any clouds, and not windy at all.

The Vienna Charity Run 2019 started at 9 in the morning and ended at 3 in the afternoon.

Everybody could start whenever they wanted and run, walk, move, go together with your dog, or stroll around with your stroller and the whole family.
The idea behind the Vienna Charity Run is that you collect a sticker for each completed lap which is 1.5km long. In the end, the collected stickers will be exchanged from the organizer into money and donated to the Sterntalerhof.
In the end, 1850 people took part at the Vienna Charity Run 2019.

How I experienced the Vienna Charity Run

My colleagues and I decided that we met at 10:30 in the morning, pick up our start numbers, take a beautiful group picture, and after that, start running.

After we did all of these, I started my run at almost 11 o’clock.
My personal goal was to collect stickers until the Vienna Charity Run is over at 3 pm – as such, I had 4 hours to go.

After 2 hours 12 minutes 13 seconds (pace: 6:16 min/km), I finished the half-marathon distance of 21.0975 km.
At this time nasty cramps started in both of my upper and lower legs.
But I didn’t stop moving. I decided for me that from this point on I will walk until the Vienna Charity Run is over.
And so I did.

The organizers had arranged a station where you were able to get something to eat and drink during each round of the course. I have eaten some bananas and cookies and trank isotonic drinks. I think that helped a bit. The cramps were still not gone, but after each round, they were getting less.

Finally, after 3 hours 58 minutes 31 seconds, I finished my 20th round – I had 20 stickers collected!

I’m so happy that I persevered until the end! It was a great feeling to be able to achieve what I’ve planned to do!

That’s it for now!
Maybe we see each other next year at the Vienna Charity Run 2020!

My past running experience

It’s been a long time ago since I attended a running event. The first two running events I visited were back in 2005.
One was the Wien Energie Business Run (5km), and the other event was the Wachau Marathon, where I participated at the half-marathon (21,097km).
I can’t remember with which time I finished the 5km, but I still know that I finished the half-marathon after a little more than 2 hours.
This result, at that time back in those days, was quite okay for me.

In 2014, I joined the 8. Vienna Night Run together with some of my colleagues from kununu.
My finishing time, almost 27 minutes, for that 5k run wasn’t that great because I didn’t train running at this time, and I also hurt my shoulder some days before the event took place.

After that running event in 2014, I decided to stop running for a while.

Let’s see what happened in 2019

This year – 2019 – I decided to start running again.

You may ask yourself why? That’s a good question.


I started running again for at least two reasons:

• Firstly, I want to get and stay healthy, fit, and be in good shape
• Secondly, I read “Can’t hurt me” from David Goggins, which inspired me that much that I even signed up for a 55km hike (get your copy here: amazon.com / amazon.de).
  Luckily, I joined the bulldog mindset membership, where John Sonmez recommended that book. Who knows, otherwise I maybe hadn’t even read the book.

Guess what; I like to run, and I love the feeling of running! I enjoy running at least three times a week in the morning before I go to work.

Usually, I run on a treadmill in the gym. From time to time, I also enjoy running outside.
Having the fresh air, being in nature, it’s excellent and more varied than always just running on a treadmill!

The running events I attend in 2019

To get even more variety, I will visit those events in 2019:
