Alica Schmidt is busy training for the summer outdoor track season.
Last summer, Schmidt made her Olympic debut in Paris, running with Germany’s 4×400 team. This winter, she ran the 800m indoor for the first time ever and also participated in the 4×200 relay at the German Nationals.
“First 800m at nationals are in the books!” Schmidt wrote back in February. “It didn’t go as planned, and the final was a very tough race for me. Overall I became 4th and I’m not satisfied with that but it‘s just the beginning.
I knew before my indoor season that my first races wouldn’t be easy and there’s a lot to learn especially tactically. Still, racing the 800m now already was the best decision to improve for the summer!
“But I‘m happy to take away silver with the girls over the 4x200m relay ❤️🔥 always the best to race with your team 🙋🏼♀️.”

For the last few weeks, the 26-year-old athlete has been working out preparing for the outdoor slate, and she’s provided her fans with some glimpses into her routine.
In Schmidt’s latest video, shared on Instagram Tuesday, she takes her followers through her sprint training program, explaining the methods behind her workouts and including footage of her running.
As always, Schmidt’s fans on IG are enjoying the content.
“Looks pretty fast to me,” one woman wrote in German.
“Watched your video and made me want to get outside and run! Keep up the good work!” another person said.
“How do you stay away from injury? I’m getting injured all the time as a distance runner,” a third person asked.
“Love this type of content!” a fourth person wrote.
“The training was fantastic miss,” another person said.
