Why not try out some\u00adthing new? The sports-minded orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtional team at Uhlmann came up with this idea after having partic\u00adi\u00adpated the last two years in the Laupheim running\/walking event (Schloss-Cross) held in the Castle Park. Conse\u00adquently, 11 colleagues took part in the Boehringer sports event in Warthausen. The partic\u00adi\u00adpants were spon\u00adsored, supported through an Ulm asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion working for the benefit of cystic fibrosis patients. The sportsper\u00adsons could choose between a five or ten kilo\u00admeter run, or complete a five-kilo\u00admeter-long Nordic walking circuit.<\/p>\n

Really, such distances bring a smile to Lutz Forst<\/strong>\u2019s lips. Theo\u00adret\u00adi\u00adcally, he has already circuited the world three times \u2013 just over 120,000 kilo\u00adme\u00adters! In his job as Stan\u00addard\u00adiza\u00adtion Specialist, he deals with stan\u00addards, guide\u00adlines, and machine safety at Uhlmann. He has been an enthu\u00adsi\u00adastic runner since the age of 14. At one stage, his weekly distance was 80 to 100 kilo\u00adme\u00adters, and he has completed dozens of marathons. His record: 2 hours and 42 minutes. However, in recent years he has had to cut back because his knees are steadily causing him prob\u00adlems. Never\u00adthe\u00adless, exer\u00adcise has to be. \u201cAfter being in the office all day, I have to get out in the fresh air, which is why I started Nordic walking\u201d, explains Forst. He partic\u00adi\u00adpated in this disci\u00adpline in Warthausen. He adds: \u201cI now appre\u00adciate not thirsting after record times. Nordic walking gives me inner tran\u00adquility. I really enjoy walking through the woods and observing the changing seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team running<\/h2>\n

In contrast to Forst, Roberto Linke<\/strong> is not an ardent runner. The mechan\u00adical engi\u00adneer in Devel\u00adop\u00adment says: \u201cI find it too monot\u00ado\u00adnous. I have phases every so often when I am keen on running, but they are over just as quickly as they occur.\u201d His real passion is appa\u00adratus gymnas\u00adtics. When time permits, he goes to open training sessions twice a week. \u201cThat was the only type of sport that I enjoyed at school, other\u00adwise I had low marks\u201d, states Linke. What partic\u00adu\u00adlarly appeals to him is that tech\u00adnique and agility count. Best times do not moti\u00advate him. However, what did moti\u00advate him about the October running\/walking festival was the team partic\u00adi\u00adpa\u00adtion together with colleagues from his depart\u00adment. \u201cThere are four of us and we support each other mutu\u00adally. We regis\u00adtered together, and when people line the circuit and cheer us on, it is much more fun than running alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolf\u00adgang Krahl<\/strong>, team leader in Devel\u00adop\u00adment, is also part of the four-person group. He also tends to be a sporadic runner. \u201cI partic\u00adi\u00adpated in the Schloss-Cross the year before last. The atmos\u00adphere was really good and our joint Uhlmann repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion was posi\u00adtive\u201d, says Krahl. He prefers to exert himself in a badminton hall. \u201cI have been playing for 30 years. The dynamics and speed are what I like \u2013 and the game element also plays a role.\u201d Phys\u00adical activity is also a must for him. \u201cAs a devel\u00adop\u00adment engi\u00adneer, I do a lot of simu\u00adla\u00adtions and analyses sitting in front of a computer. I have to work off some energy.\u201d He trained a bit in the weeks prior to the October run on his seven-kilo\u00admeter-long \u201chome\u201d circuit. \u201cEven though jogging is not really my thing, it is a good feeling when you are phys\u00adi\u00adcally tired after such a run!\u201d<\/p>\n

Our employees are fit all round \u2013 also in the sporting sense. They demon\u00adstrate this at events such as the October running\/walking festival orga\u00adnized by the Boehringer company sports club. We asked three colleagues before the event about how they keep fit and prepare them\u00adselves \u2013 and congrat\u00adu\u00adlate the partic\u00adi\u00adpants on their results. [\u2026]<\/p>\n
