Mairer only started running in 1987 at the age of 28. “Since then I have tried to follow the teaching of the integral yoga path. Part of this teaching is athletic fitness . ”In September 2004 she started running backwards . At the Impossibility Challenger event in Munich, she first tried to run a marathon backwards.

"These runs taught me that we set ourselves the limits with our minds and that these so-called limits can be transcended."
