Mockenhaupt läuft am So auch.
Haar und Nägel scheinen zu stimmen.
Mocki hat passend zu diesem Thread u.a. interessante Erkenntnisse zum mentalen Unterschied zwischen ihren Läufen
und denen in den USA.
"The 32-year old Mockenhaupt who has a 2:26:21 personal best is looking forward to making her New York Marathon debut on Sunday, one year after her planned debut was cancelled by Hurricane Sandy, a cancellation which Mockehnhaupt said was the “right decision.”
“One time in your life, you have to run the New York City Marathon,” said Mockenhaupt who revealed she’s a big fan of the United States:
“I’m really looking forward to the race because in America the people are crazy – way more crazy than in Germany.
Here, you can post, ‘I’ve got good hair,’ the day before the race and that’s great.
In Germary, they say, ‘She needs to concentrate on the race and focus. She must be serious.’
I’m always having to think, “Oh, what can I post? Can I say I have nice nails?’
They don’t like such posts in Germany. You must be serious and say, ‘I train hard. I focus hard.’
I like (America). That’s the reason why I’m here.”
When asked about more differences between the US and Germany, she said Americans seem to be more “crazy” about running than in Germany.
“In America, they are also more crazy about running. I’ve never seen so many people running in a park at 7 am,” said Mockenhaupt. “That wouldn’t happen in Germany.”
As for her goals for Sunday, Mockenhaupt said her plan is to focus on the other European competitors early in the race, ”I want to be in the top Three European girls. In the race, first I’ll look to the Europeans. I want to run tactically at the beginning, not so stupid like I did in Boston (where Mockenhaupt had a 16-second lead on Rita Jeptoo at 5k). The big goal would be to be top 10 or top 8.”
Mockenhaupt really was a great interview full of great one-liners including this one:
“Running is my passion. I’m addicted to running – it’s like a perfume for me.”" (von letsrun.com)
