Söder Quips He Quit Jogging After No 'Runner's High' and Favors Blood Sausage

The remarks came in a Nagold conversation with Baden‑Württemberg CDU leader Manuel Hagel before the state election in March.

Overview

  • Markus Söder said he stopped jogging because he never experienced a so‑called runner's high.
  • In a joking exchange, he told Manuel Hagel, "In deinem Alter bin ich auch noch sinnlos durch die Gegend gerannt."
  • He said he now prefers cycling and swimming and noted his wife gave him an e‑bike.
  • He answered a question about his diet by saying he had blood sausage for lunch and prefers traditional home cooking over plant‑based advice.
  • Hagel referenced his social‑media themes of eating and jogging and is seeking to lead the CDU ticket for Baden‑Württemberg's March vote.
