About the author
Kim Schreiber lives and breathes trail running – both as an athlete and as a writer. She knows the pre-race nerves on the start line and the euphoria at the summit from her own experience: she has celebrated victories at international classics such as the Ultra-Trail Cape Town (South Africa), Davos X Trails (Switzerland) and the Koasamarsch (Austria), as well as a podium finish at the Canyons Endurance Run in California, USA.
As a freelance copywriter, she has been writing about sport, the outdoors and travel for many years. Together with Ida-Sophie Hegemann, she hosts the podcast Höhenmeter pro Kilometer, which offers a humorous and authentic look at everyday running life.
