Veronika Haas (Vroni) is a 36-year-old competitive ultra runner, who grew up in Fels am Wagram in Lower Austria.

She holds two PhDs, one in Philosophy and one in Latin but, surprisingly, she made her student job, as an Aerobic and Fitness trainer, her main job.

She got married in 2021 and she became a mom, but this did not stop her from running and only 3 months after the birth of her daughter she ran her first half marathon!

She lives in Austria and Israel where she participated in several competitions and even won some of them this year.

Three words express her life pillars: Motivation, Movement and Goal setting.

We talk about language learning, Philosphy and running, her love for very long runs, the best races in Austria and Israel, her job as a fitness trainer and finding a balance between being a mom and an ultra runner.

The races she recommends in Austria:

Ötscher and Großglockner:
