MED CHTIOUI - FITNESS COACH

I started running when I was thirteen. I was immediately intoxicated with a beginner's enthusiasm: the special thrill of physical exertion, and a feeling that my body had limitless energy. I tried to maximise every moment on that first run and then had to hobble around for a week, almost incapable of moving. But once the soreness diminished I was back out there, running again. I was hooked.

​

As with the acquisition of any skill, there were various stages of involvement, competence and satisfaction. Now that I've been running for over years, and have spent a great deal of time helping others incorporate running into their lives, I see a similar pattern of evolution in just about all runners Progress is a matter of maturing and knowing yourself, one stage logically to the next.
