How do you guys make extra money to run the Berlin Marathon? 🇩🇪🏃🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone! I’m a casual runner from Indonesia and one of my dreams is to run the Berlin Marathon someday. 🥹
The problem is… getting to Berlin from Indonesia is expensive — flight, accommodation, race entry, food, transportation, etc. And I don’t want to completely destroy my savings just for one race 😂

So I’m curious, for those of you who travel internationally for marathons:

How do you usually fund your marathon trips?

Do you:

Save a certain amount every month specifically for races?
Take on a side hustle/freelance job?
Cut down on other expenses?
Get sponsorships?
Or do you have some creative ways to make extra money for your running trips?
I’d love to hear how you guys do it, especially from runners who travel internationally for races.

Berlin is the dream, but my bank account is currently saying “maybe next lifetime.” 😂

Any tips would be appreciated! 🫶🏻

Sore muscles

I have been abroad with team GB for running, I am returning home feeling very tight and sore on my legs, I do stretches, cool downs, cold water showers, massage gun, and I am in constant pain specifically on my lower shin bone.

Any ideas on how to lower this, or even stop this from happening later on, I am 16, and get at minimum 8 hours of sleep a night
