What running taught me and what it can teach you
I'm a Berlin-based runner who turned a 3:16 marathon into a 2:53, one lesson at a time.
Since I started running in 2018, I've logged over 20,000 kilometers (over 12,427 miles) in my Notion page running log.
Running became a passion, sometimes an obsession, but it taught me discipline that carried into every other part of my life. It's improved things far beyond just my running: how I work, how accountable I am, how I handle pressure and stressful situations.
Running changed my life before it ever became a competition.
In 2022, I decided to take it further and started signing up for races.
Since then, I've lined up for 46 races, 30 on the road, 16 on the trail.
That includes 6 marathons (5 personal bests) and 11 half marathons (6 personal bests), three 50k ultras, and two 100k ultras.
I took my own marathon personal best from 3:16 to 2:53 in just a couple of years, self-coached, while juggling a full-time job, a personal life, and two dogs who still expect their walks no matter how far I've just run.
None of it came from a secret formula. It came from testing what worked, adjusting what didn't, and showing up again the next day.
I can help you do the same, without giving up the rest of your life to do it.
My Training Method
Fall in love with running
Before chasing times or distances, you actually need to enjoy the process. This is about discovering what running gives you beyond fitness; Headspace, routine, confidence.
Building a relationship with running is what makes you want to lace up again tomorrow.
Once running has your attention, give it a direction. Whether it's finishing your first 5k, running your first marathon, or hitting a distance milestone by year's end, having something specific to aim for keeps you focused when motivation dips and life gets in the way.
Set a goal worth chasing
One run at a time
This is where the goal becomes real. It's not about grinding; it's about consistency: training with intention, adjusting as you go, and celebrating the small wins along the way.
Every session that moves the needle, even slightly, towards that big goal is progress worth recognizing and celebrating.
Enjoy the process more than the outcome!
