Life

Charlotte Teske joined the ASC Darmstadt in 1970 to train in the training group around Walter Weba and Lutz Philipp . She always ran more than the others, as she ran from Oberfeld (Darmstadt) to training the others there and back. She won her first national title in 1977 in cross-country running . Further titles in this discipline followed in 1982, 1983, 1986 and 1987. In the same year she set her first German record with 16: 13.4 min over 5000 meters , followed by another one over the same distance in 1979 with 15: 36.9 min with 33: 57.1 min a more than 10,000 meters followed. In 1980 she turned to the road run and won the Darmstadt city run and theZurich New Year's Run . In 2:38:04 h, she became German runner-up in the marathon , after shortly before being the third German runner to undercut the 2:40 hour mark with 2:38:14 h.

The following year she became German champion in the 25-kilometer road race, German marathon champion with the German best time of 2:33:13 h, second in the European Marathon Cup and won a marathon in Columbus (Ohio) in 2:35:15 h . She also won the Kassel City Run , where she was able to repeat her success in 1983 and 1986.

In 1982 she was the first German woman to stay below the two and a half hour mark in a marathon in Miami with 2:29:02 h. She was hardly slower three months later when she won the Boston Marathon with 2:29:33 h. Shortly before, she had won the Paderborn Easter run on the 10 km course. In summer she improved the German records over 5000 and 10,000 meters to 15: 19.54 min and 32: 33.1 min. The European Athletics Championships in Athens , in which she was only twelfth, were a disappointment - apparently weakened by an angina that broke out three days later . Things went much better at the New York City Marathon , in which she came third in 2:31:53 h.

In 1983 she came second in the Osaka Women's Marathon , won the national title over 25 kilometers, improved her record as the winner of the Frankfurt Marathon to 2:28:32 h and with the national best time of 32: 13.85 min was German champion over 10,000 Meters (a title she defended in 1984 and 1985). At the marathon of the World Athletics Championships 1983 , she gave up; shortly afterwards she improved her 10,000 meter record to 32: 00.26 min. At the end of the season, she won again at the Zurich New Year's Run.

In 1984 she repeated her victory at the Frankfurt Marathon. An inflammation of the sciatic nerve handicapped her in the marathon of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles , in which she came in 16th place in 2:35:56 h. She came third at the Avon Marathon in Paris .

In 1985 she was once again German marathon champion, finishing second overall in the Frankfurt Marathon. She also won the title again over 25 kilometers. In 1986 she set a course record at the Berlin Marathon with 2:32:10 h. In 1987, a victory in the 10 kilometers of the Paderborn Easter Run was followed by a course record of 2:31:49 h in the Hamburg Marathon . The following year, she improved this to 2:30:23 h and at the same time won her third national championship title over the 42.195 km distance.

In 1989 she was ninth in the London Marathon in 2:32:34 h. For almost two decades, this was the current best German senior performance in the W40 marathon, until Luminita Zaituc improved it to 2:30:00 on October 5, 2008 in Cologne . At the end of her competitive sports career, Charlotte Teske set a course record in the 1990 Munich Marathon with 2:33:12 hours.

The 1.67 m tall and 55 kg heavy athlete started for the ASC Darmstadt . At the Darmstadt City Run organized by the ASC, she is the record winner with six successes. In 1970 she married the middle distance athlete Dieter Teske (born December 8, 1942), who trained her and from whom she is now divorced. Today the trained pediatric nurse lives as a naturopath in Darmstadt .
