Got a pair of running shoes and the willingness to pick up a new hobby? Well, the beauty of running is that you can actually see progress quite quickly if you stick to a running plan.

Those first three weeks might feel tough. Your endurance might not be where you want it to be, but don't let that get you down. Everyone starts somewhere, right?

Here's the thing: when you're starting out with running, it's a good idea to think about why you're doing it.

Are you running to unwind before or after work? Maybe you're looking to lose weight and get in shape. Or perhaps you want to challenge yourself, looking for some races and PBs.

The cool thing about running is that it's super versatile. You can make it your own and tailor it to your goals. I run because I crave that feeling of speed. I enjoy competing against others and setting personal challenges.

It's not just about running; it's about finding motivation and purpose that spills over into other areas of my life.
