Career
Katharina Steinruck was trained by her father Wolfgang Heinig , who had already looked after her mother, when she was still a schoolboy. In 2013, her mother took over the training. She has been working for LG Eintracht Frankfurt since 2007 . In 2009, after graduating from high school, she began her training at the Hesse Administration College in the Police Department .
In 2009, 2010 and 2011 she was German junior champion in the half marathon , and in the Berlin half marathon in 2010 she was eleventh.
While her mother Katrin Dörre-Heinig ran a marathon for the first time at the age of 20 , Katharina made her debut over the 42.195 km distance at the age of 21 and immediately won the Cologne Marathon .
In 2011 she fought her way through the Hanover Marathon despite a fatigue fracture in her foot and came in fifth. In 2012 she won gold at the German Half Marathon Championships and was eleventh at the Hanover Marathon, despite a gastrointestinal virus.
In 2014 she was appointed to the police service of the state of Hesse and is still a member of the sports promotion group.
In 2016 she finished fifth at the Berlin Marathon and set her new best time in 2:28:34 h. In doing so, she also undercut the norm for the marathon at the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London .
After she was able to fulfill the performance certificate specified by the DLV at the last moment in 2017 , she took part there and took 39th place. At the end of October Steinruck started the Frankfurt Marathon . In a time of 2:29:29 h she was eighth and also caught Fate Tola in the fight for the German championship with a fairly evenly divided race .
In 2018 she was nominated by the DLV for the European Athletics Championships in 2018 , where she finished 16th in the marathon.
