Training for the Kowsky Run begins on July 27, 2026!
Johanna Schulz has been accompanying us for 12 years as a trainer in preparation for the Kowsky Run. Johanna holds the state record for 1500m and is a two-time Sportswoman of the Year for the city of Neumünster.
The training is free and suitable for all performance levels! Our group includes absolute beginners, runners who train once a month, and ambitious hobby athletes.
How does it work? We do interval training on a track, allowing us to train at our individual pace, with tempo, distance, and repetitions adjusted according to performance level. This is complemented by a joint warm-up and, depending on the day, strength exercises, foot strengthening, and running drills.
Over the eight weeks, we grow together as a group and get fitter together!
Everyone is welcome to join at their own risk!
When: Every Monday at 6:00 PM starting July 27, 2026
Who: Anyone who wants to get faster!
Cost: Covered by Kowsky company
Where: Geerdtstraße (Start and finish line of the Kowsky Run)
