5 km	19:45
10 km	41:38
Half Marathon	1:32:01
Marathon	4:11:31

Physically, I always struggle with long distances; I tend to experience discomfort somewhere, be it in my knees, Achilles, ankles, or hamstrings. Whenever I engage in extensive running, some form of discomfort tends to arise. If anyone has tips regarding training—what to do and what to avoid—please feel free to let me know: Drop me a message.
