1st week

First week, first lesson: winter running sucks.
Or rather—I was doing it wrong. According to my personal trainer (AI):

The goal isn’t to enjoy winter; it’s to get through it with consistency.

The first part is going well. The second isn’t bad either—21 km this week is a solid start—but I can already feel I’m stressing my body a bit too much. Not at the muscle level, but the combination of cold air, rain, and all the viruses floating around puts extra pressure on the immune system.

I’ll make some adjustments to the schedule to ease that load.

Still—so far, so good. Only 19 weeks to go 😄
