The night I couldn’t sleep… again Lying in bed one night, staring at the ceiling, counting the hours I was losing. My body was screaming for rest after a brutal training session, but my mind was running laps faster than my legs ever could. The clock ticked past 2 a.m., then 3 a.m., and I […]

When the Run Feels Impossible This morning, I laced up my shoes for a tempo run that was supposed to be straightforward on paper. Seven sets. Two kilometers each. Two minutes of rest in between. The target pace: 5:10 to 5:15 per kilometer. But my legs had other plans. They felt like bricks. By the […]

Reading – The Tiny Habit That Made a Big Difference In our fast-paced, endlessly distracted world, focus often feels like a luxury. Between work demands, messages pinging from every app, and our own wandering thoughts, it’s easy to feel mentally scattered.

Some days, without doing anything extraordinary, you feel it—this quiet sense that you’re heading in the right direction. That’s exactly how I felt this Saturday. It was a simple day. No big events, no intense workouts, no packed calendar. But by the time evening came, I felt full of gratitude, energy, and a deep sense […]
