Birgit Lennartz-Lohrengel (born November 22, 1965 in Bad Godesberg as Birgit Lennartz ) is a former German marathon and ultramarathon runner .
Career
Birgit Lennartz passed her Abitur in 1984 at the Albert Einstein High School in Sankt Augustin . In 1989, she completed her studies in sports science at the German Sports University in Cologne as a certified sports teacher. After completing a basic course in ecotrophology at the University of Bonn , she qualified as a physiotherapist in the prevention and rehabilitation area in a three-year training course .
It belonged to the top German class on the marathon route and was dominant in Germany for years on routes beyond the marathon distance. Among other things, she won the 100 km of Biel seven times (her time from 1997 is a track record), ten times the Swiss Alpine Marathon , eight times the Rennsteiglauf , five times the Albmarathon (1 × over 50 km, 4 × over 44 km), six times in a row Défi Val-de-Travers and once the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. On April 28, 1990, she set a world record in the 100-kilometer run in Hanau in 7:18:57 h.
In the marathon she was German champion in 1989 and runner-up in 1983. In the 100-kilometer run she was German champion seven times in a row from 1988 to 1994, and in 1997 and 2001 she was also able to win this title. In the mountain run Lennartz was German champion in 1988, 1990 and 1993; in addition, she has won four glacier runs and the Aletsch half marathon . In 1997 she suffered a stroke the day after her victory in a mountain marathon over 72 km in the Jura. As she herself said, dehydration combined with a capillary injury led to the seizure.
So far, she has won 69 runs over the marathon distance (as of August 2020), including the Rhine-Ruhr Marathon (1982-1984, 1991), the pre-Olympic Seoul Marathon 1984, the Vienna Spring Marathon (1986), the Munich Marathon (1992 ), the Leipzig Marathon (1992), the Monschau Marathon (1993, 1995–96, 1999, 2001, 2008), the premiere of the Jungfrau Marathon 1993, the autumn marathon of the Bertlicher Road Runs (1993), the Steinfurt Marathon ( 1992, 1994, 1998-99, 2001), the Königsforst-Marathon (1994, 1996), the Rursee-Marathon (1997-99), the Bonn-Marathon (2001), the Dreiländer-Marathon (2001), the Napf- Marathon (2001), the Weiltalweg landscape marathon ( 2003), the Bad-Pyrmont-Marathon (2003), the Kyffhäuser-Berg-Marathon (2004) and the Trollinger-Marathon (2005).
