Alica Schmidt shares glimpses of her indoor track workout as she prepares for the upcoming season for a new event

Alica Schmidt shared some glimpses of her workout sessions for the 2025 track season. The athlete concluded her 2024 season after competing at the Paris Olympics.

Schmidt's 2024 Summer Games campaign did not pan out as expected, as she fell short of winning any medals despite competing in two events. The German couldn't advance to the finals of the women's 4x400m relay, as she and her team, which included Skadi Schier, Mayer, and Demed, attained a seventh-place finish in Heat 2 of the event, which led to their disqualification.

In the mixed 4x400m relay event, Schmidt and her team, which included Sanders, Demes, and Breadau, again faced the same fate as the women's 4x400m relay. They finished in the seventh position in Heat 2 of the dash, and it shattered the Olympic dream of the German athlete.

Alica Schmidt is currently gearing up for the 2025 season and has shared some clips of her indoor track workout in her Instagram stories. In the first clip she was seen running on the track with weights tied on her waist, and it was followed by heavy weightlifting by her core. Here are the glimpses of her indulging in her indoor track workout.

Alica Schmidt, who competed in the 400m at the Olympics but did not manage to reach the qualifying round as she claimed a fourth-place finish, had announced a major change in her 2025 track plans. She took to her Instagram account and shared a carousel of images, which showcased glimpses of her 2024 season, and made an announcement that she will be competing in the 800m.

The post's caption read:

"It’s been quite a year. It was filled with so many highlights and I made some memories that will last forever: from the world relays in the Bahamas, where we qualified the mixed relay for the Olympics to the European championships in Rome, where we qualified the women’s 4x400m for Paris to the German nationals and of course: THE OLYMPICS," Alica Schmidt wrote.

She added:

"After Paris I tried something new and ran a 800m & 600m and really enjoyed pushing out of my comfort zone. Back in 2022, I decided that I wanted to give the 800m a shot after the Paris Olympics, so now it means… I’m going for it next year. I‘m on my way to my first high altitude training camp where I’ll join an international 800m group to train alongside great athletes where I can learn a lot."

Schmidt's personal best in the 800m dash is 2:05.22.
