"Running for those who can't run". Under this motto, the Wing for Life World Run will take place for the eleventh time next Sunday. EHC Red Bull München has been supporting the Wings for Life Foundation since 2013 and has already raised over 110,000 euros for the good cause with the activities surrounding the annual Wings for Life match day.

Wings for Life Foundation searches for a cure for paraplegia

The foundation has set itself the task of finding a cure for paraplegia. According to WHO estimates, 250,000 to 500,000 people worldwide suffer a traumatic spinal cord injury every year. These people are to be helped even better in the future.

At the Wings for Life World Run, we will once again be at the start with our running group Red Bulls & Friends - together with you. Before you lace up your running shoes for a good cause on May 5, our fitness trainer Tom Winkler has a few simple tips for you.

Four simple professional tips from fitness trainer Thomas Winkler

Tip 1 - Preparation: Before winding down the kilometers on Sunday, you should have already completed a few runs beforehand for the best possible result. Regenerative training runs up to two days before the World Run are ideal.

Tip 2 - Clothing: Suitable and comfortable running shoes are particularly important when completing longer distances. A look at the weather radar and appropriate warm or airy clothing can't hurt either.

Tip 3 - Nutrition: For sufficient energy, you should have a carbohydrate-rich dinner the day before.

Tip 4 - Stretching: After running, don't neglect stretching. This contributes to faster muscle regeneration and strengthens ligaments, tendons and connective tissue.

The Munich Flagship Run takes place in the Olympic Park and runs past the Olympic Ice Stadium and our new home, the SAP Garden - but is already sold out. If you want to register spontaneously and still do your bit, you can do as Koni Abeltshauser did at last year's Wings for Life World Run.
