Blum reached the peak of national athletics in his first year as a senior by winning the 60 m title at the 2007 German Indoor Athletics Championships. This led to his first senior international call-up and he was a semi-finalist over that distance at the 2007 European Athletics Indoor Championships. He ran in three events at the 2007 European Athletics U23 Championships: he was seventh in the 100 m final but failed to finish in the relay and 200 m. He did manage third place in the 2007 European Cup 100 m, however.[3] He improved his personal bests over all distance that year: 10.26 seconds for the 100 m, 20.85 seconds for the 200 m and 6.59 seconds for the 60 m.[5]
After an absence during the 2013 season, he returned to top condition in the 2014 season. That year, the 27-year-old finally improved his 100 m best to 10.20 seconds, beating his previous mark which has stood since 2007.[5] He won the fourth German 60 m title at the beginning of the year.[3] He also helped the German relay quartet, including Sven Knipphals, Kosenkow and Julian Reus, to second place at the 2014 European Team Championships held in his native Germany.[11]
Blum equalled his 60 m best at the German Indoor Championships in 2015, winning in a time of 6.56 seconds.[5] He finally reached an international individual podium at the 2015 European Athletics Indoor Championships. Finishing behind the reigning world champion Richard Kilty, he edged out his compatriot Reus to claim the 60 m silver medal.[12]
