Young Straubinger runs 637 kilometers to Berlin - an adventure!

Berlin, Deutschland - Noah Fuchs, a 19-year-old adventurer from Straubing, took 14 vacation days for his sporting challenge. The young man, who is currently doing his federal voluntary service, is planning an ambitious journey: he wants to run from Bavarian Straubing to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin within 14 days. The 637 -kilometer route demands a lot from him - an average of over 40 kilometers a day. After all, he put the first steps into practice as soon as possible!

his adventure begins in Straubing on Monday and leads over Kaltenbrunn in the Upper Palatinate. The next stop on his route is Fuchsmühl, which is close to the Czech border. To stay fit, Noah discovered his passion for running last year and has been completing four training sessions per week since then. At first he thought of walking a marathon route through Lower Bavaria every day, but was worried that the possible monotony could quickly rob him of motivation. An idea of ​​running to Venice was also quickly rejected - the many meters of altitude were simply too much of the good for him.

a special challenge for body and mind

with a backpack that weighs between three and five kilograms, Noah starts his days. In addition to changing clothes, he also stowed various hygiene matters. His strategy for the daily kilometers: do not think of any large overall routes, but focus on the individual stages. After three days he has already completed an impressive 141 kilometers, but still almost 500 kilometers are in front of him.

The conditions on the third day would be particularly hard, since high temperatures made a lot of liquid and electrolytes on tar roads. The challenges that this voluntary service brings are not only physical nature, but also a question of motivation and mental strength. With his project, Noah also wants to set an example and show what you can achieve with perseverance.

The federal voluntary service in the focus

But what drives Noah to master such challenges? His commitment is part of the federal voluntary service, which is often used as an educational and orientation year. This program promotes the willingness of young people to voluntarily engagement and responsibility. In addition, the voluntary valuable insights into different professional fields can gain and experience "self -efficacy", that is, the feeling of being able to master difficult situations independently.

An integral part of the federal voluntary service are also mandatory educational days, which are usually distributed over 25 units. These educational days offer the volunteers the opportunity to exchange ideas and grow together, both personally and socially. Noah is not the only one who pursues such a well thought -out goal. His colleague Moritz Gürster of the same age recently completed a similar challenge: in 12 days he covered 540 kilometers from Kirchroth to Lake Garda.

Whether on the streets between Straubing and Berlin or in the halls of educational institutions - the spirit of the voluntary service always finds new ways to inspire and motivate young people. And who knows, maybe Noah, with his ongoing adventure, not only asks himself, but also others to question their own limits.
