New podcast episode Laufszene Geflüster
The journey to DresdenHALF begins now!
The excitement is growing – because on 6 September 2026, the DresdenHALF will celebrate its premiere! In this episode, Günni and André look ahead together and talk about what makes this new half marathon so special.
In keeping with the premiere, we also present a real highlight – the DresdenHALF training group. We want to accompany you on your journey to the half marathon, whether you are preparing for your first half marathon or aiming for a new personal best time. The training group is led by Amy Fry and Reiner Mehlhorn, who are also guests in this episode. They talk about how they got into running themselves, what motivated them to become running coaches, and why they are so keen to accompany you on this journey. It's not just about training plans, but also about motivation, confidence in your own body and the good feeling of not training alone.
