Also in 2019, she ran in the Paris Marathon, which serves as the inspiration for a comic strip describing her preparation for the event,[1] finally released as an album in 2021.[4] The cartoon was being written concurrently as she prepared for the marathon. During her preparation, she met a dozen other amateur athletes who also running their first marathon; these meetings served as her inspiration when writing the comic.[5] Her album has gained popularity France and Belgium.
