German Wolfram Müller became 4th in the final of the 1.500m final of the European Indoor Championships 2009 in Torino. After winning his heat on Saturday, the 27-year ran a time of 3:44,95 in Sunday’s final, only 0,20 seconds behind eventual 3rd place Yoann Kowal of France. Even if Müller himself was a bit disappointed and said that he was encumbered in the last curve, it is still nice to see Wolfram back in the international top class of middle distance running. In his early 20′s (i.e. around 5 years back) he was seen as Germany’s biggest middle distance talent but afterwards went through a lot of downs. Just in time before the home World Championships 2009 he now seems to be back on track!
Germany’s second entry at the 1500m, Carsten Schlangen missed the final after taking 4th place (3:43.45min) in a heat, where he set the pace for most of the race. Also 800 meter runner René Bauschinger didn’t survive the first round with a clocking of 1:52.50min for 4th place in his heat.
Disappointingly, no German women were present in the middle distance events at the Champioships.

The German Cross-Country Championships 2009 will take place in Ingolstadt (Bavaria) on 14th of March. As organisers now announced in a press conference, 1191 entries from more than 300 clubs have been made. “We are satisfied with both quantity and quality of the field” the head of the organising committee was quoted.
The women’s field includes the headliners Sabrina Mockenhaupt, Susanne Hahn and Ulrike Maisch, while Stephan Hohl is seen as the favorite in the men’s long distance event. In the men’s middle distance race both Wolram Müller and Carsten Schlangen have good chances along with local hero Sebastian Hallmann.

Irina Mikitenko decided where she is going to stay for her altitude camp: Just like last year she will prepare for the London Marathon in the mountains of Kirghizia. “We will stay there 4 weeks. At the moment the conditions are good, during daytime up to 15 degrees Celsius and moreover it’s dry” stated Mikitenko. Last year’s winner of London and Berlin Marathon will start her journey on 8th of March.

André Pollmächer, who debuted in the marathon last year in Frankfurt with a time of 2:14:18h will run his second marathon in Düsseldorf on the 3rd of May 2009. The former European 10.000m Challenge winner with a 10.000m PB of 27:55,56min is aiming for the official entry standard for the world championships in Berlin, that stands at 2:13:00h.

In her first race in 2009 Irina Mikitenko had to settle with a 3rd place and a time of 1:11:01h in the Rome Ostia Half Martathon (01.03.09). Last year’s world marathon majors champion Mikitenko was running heavy from the start and was dropped by eventual winner Anna Incerti (1:09:24h) after 3km already.
The course was not perfect for Mikitenko, as she stated that that she does not like it when “it is about running up and down the hills”. However, it was a good training run for her and 2 days after the race another 30km run was on the training program. Before the London marathon (24.04) Mikitenko wants to run another preparatory race and wants to perform an altitude camp: “We will have to see where the weather is good at the moment and have to book immediately.”
February 25, 2009
German marathon record holder Irina Mikitenko will have her first start of the 2009 season next Sunday (01.03.) in Rome, where she is planning to run a halfmarathon. Her aim is a time of 70minutes. “For a personal best it is a little bit early now, because there are still 9 weeks time until the London marathon. And that’s the point where I have to be in top shape” she told the German press.

Several great performances were shown in the German Indoor Nationals in pretty much all competitions – lots of PBs/SBs and qualification standards for the European Indoor Championships.
It seems Germany finally has some international middle distance runners on the male side again. On the women’s side the picture was pretty weak (except for the 3000m time of Sabrina Mockenhaupt).
