I have a self customised training program.

The training program gradually builds you up to increase mileage.

The training program takes discipline to get up and do things, when you don’t want to do it. The training teaches you to know your body,
Success lies in your diet, sleep, recovery and strength. No alcohol.

I also like team sports and small goal. Love being outdoors, so running fits in well with lifestyle.

Running is simplest, just go and do it. Easy and accessible.
