Defending the title at the Wings For Life Run? - Part 3

David Schönherr is the defending champion at this year's Wings For Life Run in Munich. He came to Munich with optimal physical and mental preparation, completed a high-altitude training camp for the first time and aims to run more than 60 km again.
