45-time German champion. Olympian. Running legend. Sabrina Mockenhaupt, better known as Mocki, has achieved everything many runners dream of. 45 German championship titles, three Olympic appearances, more than two decades of competitive sport, countless competitions. Running was and is her life — until pain and injuries eventually became too much.
“I couldn't run anymore. I was injured — again. Running was my life, and suddenly it was gone.”
After decades of competitive sports, injuries dominated Mocki's everyday life. The joy of running gave way to frustration. “Two years ago, I was really desperate and didn't know how to go on,” Sabrina recalls.
Many runners know this situation all too well: pain, overexertion, injuries—and the worry that they will no longer be able to run without pain.
How Sabrina Mockenhaupt can finally run pain-free again with True Motion – watch the video and discover her whole story.
Then came the moment that changed a lot: at the marathon fair in Cologne, she met Prof. Dr. Gert-Peter Brüggemann, co-founder of True Motion. “He handed me his running shoes and said, ‘You have to try these out.’”
Mocki did — and felt the difference: "The shoe felt like it was made for me. "
Since then, the 45-time German champion has only run in True Motion running shoes — and she's enjoying it again without pain. Thanks to patented U-TECH™ technology, True Motion running shoes reduce the risk of running injuries by up to 50% — across all running styles. On the knees, Achilles tendon, shins, and back.
“U-TECH™ technology stabilizes my run where other shoes have long since failed. Studies prove: 50% fewer injuries. I've experienced it myself.”
Thanks to True Motion, Mocki has not only rediscovered the joy of running — she now runs pain-free and with a feeling she thought she had almost lost.
“For the first time in a long time, I didn't have to worry about injuries. True Motion showed me how running can feel easy and worry-free again — without the constant fear of pain.”


What began as a coincidence turned into a new beginning. Today, Sabrina Mockenhaupt is no longer a professional athlete, but a passionate runner. At the Generali Half Marathon Cologne 2025, she finished fifth in 1:17:26 at the age of 44. Her run was more than just a sporting success. It was a statement — for joy and the belief in oneself.
“Today, I run freely again, pain-free and full of joy.” With True Motion, she has found her way back to running.
Almost 100 % of our technology is derived from scientific findings and biomechanical research. Prof. Dr. Gert-Peter Brüggemann, head of the Institute for Biomechanics and Orthopedics at the German Sports University Cologne for decades, is largely responsible for this. Over the past 25 years, he has been part of numerous innovative running shoe developments – and thus a sought-after expert among the giants of the industry.
