"About 30% of my training is focused on strength. For the most part, explosive and functional full-body exercises are on my schedule. It's super effective, I would recommend such workouts to anyone. For me, the focus is also on strengthening and activating the leg muscles, the classic way with squats and lunges. There are then seven to eight training sessions a week that last between two and three hours." (womenshealth.de, 19 Jul 2021; nau.ch, 08 Jul 2020)

"Cherish other people's success instead of being jealous of what they have accomplished. Your values, beliefs and expectations form your attitude. Bring on everything ahead and set your standards high." (ladbible.com, 24 Jul 2021; nypost.com, 09 Jul 2021)

General Interest

General
SPORT FIRST
She has described media reports focusing on her appearance rather than athletics as unnecessary. "My focus is on sport. Social media tends to run alongside. If I don't have time, I don't post a picture. There were situations I found unnecessary, such as when the topic of a race was not about my time, but my Instagram account. I'm an athlete on the track and everything else shouldn't matter. Off the track, I'm grateful to my followers, because Instagram enables me to do my sport without having to have a part-time job. It is difficult to make a living from athletics alone." (ladbible.com, 24 Jul 2021; outlookindia.com, 11 Jul 2021; travelermaster.com, 25 Feb 2021; sport1.de, 28 Nov 2020)

DISTANCE LEARNING
She says studying remotely for a degree from the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences has been beneficial. "The decision to go on a distance learning course was definitely the right one. It gives me flexibility when it comes to learning. I can divide my day perfectly and work from anywhere." (travelermaster.com, 25 Feb 2021)
