Nele Alder-Baerens , born Nele Alder (born April 1, 1978 in Berlin ), is a German middle , long-distance and ultra runner .

Career

Due to an early birth, Nele Alder-Baerens is severely nearsighted with twelve diopters and has been completely deaf since she was 13. She has been using a cochlear implant since she was 17 , but switches it off while running because the background noise would be too loud.

Nele Alder-Baerens was a member of the German deaf national team from 1998 to 2006 , for which she was in Rome in 2001 at the XIX. Summer Deaflympics in the 800 meter run silver, and in 2005 in Melbourne at the XX. Summer Deaflympics won gold in the 5000 meter run and bronze in the 10,000 meter run . Further placements at the Deaflympics were three fourth places: in Copenhagen in 1997 with the 4 × 400 m relay and in Rome in 2001 over 1500 m and again with the 4 × 400 m relay. During this time she also set European and world records over 2000 m and 5000 m . Since the beginning of her second career as a marathon and ultra marathon runner , she has been representing the German deaf national team at international championships again.

In her marathon debut at the Berlin Marathon 2013 , Nele Alder-Baerens set a new world record for the deaf in the marathon with a time of 2:46:07 h , with "only" a training volume of 80-90 km per week. Since 2014 she has started for the Ultra Sport Club Marburg , for which she won the German championships in 50 km road running three times in a row from 2014 to 2016 , and in 2016 the German championships in the 6-hour run with a new German record and world record in of age group W35.

Together with winning the title at the German championships in the 100-kilometer road race in 2016 , Nele Alder-Baerens achieved three world best performances in 2016:

• 50 km in 3:20:33 h,
• 100 km in 7:29:04 h and
• 6 h for 82.998 km.

In November 2016 she won the silver medal at the World Championships 50 km in Doha , Qatar . A year earlier in December she was able to achieve eighth place at the same event and route.

In March 2017, Nele Alder-Baerens ran 85.492 km in the 6-hour run Münster ( DUV-DM 2017) in Münster , setting the previous world record of 83.200 km from Norimi Sakurai ( JPN ) of 83.200 km from 2003. At the same time, she was able to defend her DM title from last year and lapped all participants except for the male winner Christoph Marquardt, on whom she had a lead of over three kilometers (82.067 km).

Also in 2017, Nele Alder-Baerens succeeded in defending his title at the German championships in the 100-kilometer road race in Berlin's Plänterwald on the 50 km German record course ( Paul Schmidt 2016 ) despite muscular problems beforehand . Her time of 7:35:37 h meant second place on the world's annual best list, just one minute behind. Another place in the 2017 world annual best list was fourth place over 50 km in 3:24:13 h (meanwhile achieved in the 6-hour run in Münster).

After winning the German championship in the 50 km road race 2018 in Ebershausen (3:25:39 h), Nele Alder-Baerens tried to improve the world record she had set a year earlier at the German championship in the 6-hour run 2018 in Hoyerswerda however, due to the high temperatures during the race, this goal was not achieved. With 78,927 kilometers she finally missed the age class world record W40 by only 74 meters, but ran a new German age group record. Nonetheless, she dominated the German championship again this time and finished the race with a lead of over two kilometers over the first men.

She won her second international silver medal at the 2018 100 km road running world championships in Sveti Martin na Muri , Croatia . With a time of 7:22:41 h she set a new world record in the deaf class despite unfavorable humid and warm weather conditions and a selective route. One month later, Nele Alder-Baerens made her debut at the Taubertal 100 over the 100-mile distance (160.9 km). On the route from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Gemünden am Main , which cannot be listed on the best list , it ran with 13:35:31 h, what is probably the second fastest time in the world over this distance behind Camille Heron ( USA ), which took 12:42 h in 2017. Nele Alder-Baerens stayed 1:27 h below the German record set by Sigried Lomsky (15:02:30 h), which had existed since 2003, but did not improve it because of the track that was not on the best list. During this race, she had run more kilometers after 12 hours than Anke Drescher in her German record in 2000 with 137.964 km.

On January 1, 2019, the German championships in the disciplines of 50 km road running, 24-hour running and ultratrail were officially recognized as German championships and thus no longer by the German Ultramarathon Association (DUV), but by the German Athletics Association (DLV). At the end of March 2019, the 1st German championship in the 50 km road race took place at the Störitzsee in Grünheide after 23 previous events by the DUV . Nele Alder-Baerens was initially nine of the ten 5 km laps in the lead, but was overtaken by Almut Dreßler on the last lap and missed the gold medal at a German championship for the first time.

In the early summer of 2019 Nele Alder-Baerens took part in two 24-hour runs . In May in Basel ( CHE ) at the Sri Chinmoy 12 + 24 hour run , she ran a new German record in the 12-hour run with 148.141 km (official split time; also German record and world record in the W40 age group). For the world record set by Camille Herron ( USA ), 149.130 km in a 24-hour track run (400 m track) in December 2017 in Phoenix (Arizona) , only 989 meters were missing. Then she ran even further up to the 100-mile mark, where she got out as the leader at that time, also with a new German record in 13:13:15 h (the 100-miles was previously measured separately and the record attempts at the International Association of Ultrarunners registered; also world record age group W40). In June 2019 in Hoyerswerda at the European run, she ran through the 24 hours and, despite summery temperatures, achieved a new German record in the 24-hour run of 251.227 km , which she won in October 2019 when she won the silver medal in the 24-hour run. World Championship in Albi ( FRA ) improved to 254.288 km.
