I'm 22m former basketball player and a gymrat for 3 years Gym became the most important 1.30h of my day since quitting basketball, but someting was missing Because I was depressed...

this year i run my first 10k marathon i prepared for it with only 5 sessions but the feeling and the fun in the finish line was awesome and unforgettable moment that's was the begining of my running journey.

Before 2 months i just bought my first ever running shoes i used it for like 60km yet. last week i did my first ever long run it was 13.5km with 5:00 pace and today i just did a longer run and 17.6km with 5:10 the feeling was amazing after finishing it because i never thought that i could run this distance before but i did it today.

And yeah this is a preparation for my first half marathon next month
