I was born in 1986 and have been running since 2015. I’m not nearly as fast as a lot of people that create running content but I’ve never quit a race, I’ve always improved, and I never had any major injuries from running.
I know some people will say “You’re not that fast, why should I listen to you?!” This is primarily a site for beginner and intermediate runners. If you ran a three and a half hour marathon, then yeah, don’t listen to me. There are a lot of resources available to learn and improve, this is just one of them.
The goal is to help others get into running or progress further, not to ramble on about my life. I live in Chicago and I love to run, but I have a lot of other hobbies. If you want to know anything else send me a message, I’m happy to answer questions.
