Welding hours in the force chamber, lonely runs in the dark, wind and rain and little time for private meetings: “A marathon preparation is full of leisure,” says Daniel Weiß in an interview with the OÖN and laughs. For more than four months, the 28-year-old from Pregarten is preparing for the 23rd Oberbank Linz Donau Marathon in a targeted and intensive way-with up to 120 weekly kilometers. “It would be a lie that it is always fun, but I got great through the preparation, I have a very good feeling and I’m looking forward to the course,” says Weiß, who wants to complete the 42.195 kilometers in less than 2:40 hours in his fourth marathon.
