Dhe everyday life of Germany’s long-time record holder in marathon running is currently determined by heart problems – but not his own. Arne Gabius is a doctor. dr Arne Gabius, 41 years old, works as an assistant doctor on a hospital ward for gastroenterology and cardiology. Gabius sees “many sick people” every day, and with many patients in “internal medicine” he has the urgent suspicion that a little more sport would certainly have been good for their lives. “Many people lack an understanding of movement,” says Gabius.
As a licensed doctor and former professional runner, marathon best time 2:08:33 hours, he looks at the problem of society as a whole from two disciplines. “Society has become too comfortable,” he says. He experiences the result on his ward. It’s so easy to prevent. According to Gabius, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends “150 minutes of sport per week” to strengthen the heart, circulatory system and immune system.
