Hey folx! Going to share my journey from couch to 5k to ultra. Grab a snack cuz it's gonna be long.
A few years ago, I couldn't even imagine running a kilometer, let alone an ultramarathon. I was overweight, lazy, and seriously unhealthy. Then one day I had a health scare and realized it was time to make a change.
I started out with just treadmill walks because I couldn't keep up even a light jog. Steadily increased the time and soon I was able to jog 5 minutes at a stretch. This was a HUGE accomplishment for me.
Fast forward to today, I have run multiple marathons and last week I finished my first ultramarathon. The journey was tough, no doubt. There were times I wanted to give up. I had injuries, mental roadblocks, bad weather, my favorite gym shutting down- you name it. But I kept at it.
I am here to tell you, if I can do it, ANYBODY CAN. It is not easy but the human body is an amazing machine and what we can achieve with the right mindset and consistency is just beyond imagination. Here's to many more miles under my feet and I hope my journey can inspire at least one person out there!
