Endurance training helped me endure and push through the pain - both mentally and physically.

I had combatted a hard with another hard. People started complimenting the change of my physical appearance, my boss promoted me and I was feeling healthier and more energetic. Progress with perspective.įrom here, I started to notice that the progress was spilling over into all other areas of my life. The daily runs silenced the negtative thoughts in my head and rewarded my solitude with progress. Running helped me do just that and taught me the importance of embracing the mindset of 'always keep going'. He had passed away in May after suffering from cancer for several months.ĭue to the pandemic circumstances, it was very hard for me to find an escape from the void of loneliness I found myself in after his passing which was even altered by the fact that I had just gone through my first breakup.

I started the journey of running in June 2020 in order to deal with the grief over the loss of my grandad. To me, it embodies the story of my very own catharsis.

So, in this picture you might see a happy young man after completing his first marathon, but to me it´s more than just that. Usually I don´t share personal stuff here, but today I want to make an exception as I know that some of you might be going through hard times and some words of encouragement might make a big difference from time to time.
