During my childhood, I was an incredibly active individual engrossed in a variety of sports and activities. However, at the age of 16, I underwent surgery that necessitated a shift to a more sedentary lifestyle. This less healthy way of living persisted until around 2017, during which time I carried an excess weight of nearly 100 kilograms and faced numerous health issues.
My transformation towards a healthier lifestyle commenced in 2018, when I uncovered a deep passion for running. I completed my inaugural fun run (5 kms) towards the end of 2018, and subsequently achieved my first 10k run in 2019 and an official HM in 2022 post lockdown. Since then, I have been diligently enhancing my endurance and strength, committing to long-term training.
Throughout this expedition to improve my fitness, I've encountered a cadre of mentors and friends who've effectively dismantled misconceptions and unhealthy habits I had been adhering to. Their guidance has been instrumental in helping me surmount setbacks and obstacles along my fitness journey.
