General
LATE STARTER
He did not begin training until age 17 as he was previously focused on his studies and helping on the family farm. When he started training he initially ran barefoot. "I had no ambitions myself at that time to become a runner. I concentrated on school first and had to help my parents with farm work. So I had 14-hour days. I did not do any sports. For the first two or three months [of training] I had no shoes, so I ran barefoot on the grass. It was no problem, but it changes your running style." (germanroadraces.de, 13 Apr 2015)
