Söder Drops Jogging, Cites No Runner’s High in Light Nagold Exchange With Hagel

The comments came at a Nagold campaign stop hosted by CDU chair Manuel Hagel during his bid to lead the party in March.

Overview

  • Markus Söder said he ended his jogging attempts because he never experienced a runner’s high, recalling he once ran crisscross through Nuremberg.
  • He said he now prefers cycling and swimming, noting his wife gave him an e-bike.
  • Manuel Hagel teased him by referencing “Hagel joggt” on social media, and Söder joked that at Hagel’s age he also ran around for no reason.
  • The pair also traded quips about swimming, with Hagel mentioning his Seepferdchen badge and Söder pointing to his lifeguard qualification.
  • Asked about his diet, Söder said he ate bloodwurst for lunch and dismissed advice to go more vegan, saying he favors traditional home-style food.
