- [2025 – The Year I Took Ownership of My Running](https://therunnerzone.com/year-i-took-ownership-of-my-running/): If 2023 was about building consistency, and 2024 was about increasing volume, then 2025 became something different entirely.  It wasn’t just about running more. It wasn’t about chasing races. And it definitely wasn’t about blindly following a plan anymore.  2025 was the year things started to click.
- [2024 – The Growth Year: Stepping Up in Distance](https://therunnerzone.com/2024-growth-year-running-distance/): 2023 was about starting. Showing up. Building consistency. Proving to myself that I wouldn’t quit again. 2024 was different. I didn’t just want to run. I wanted to improve. Distances got longer. Goals got clearer. Expectations got higher. And with that… Reality showed up too. Not all progress feels good. Some of it challenges you in ways you don’t expect.
- [2023 – The Foundation Year: Building Consistency](https://therunnerzone.com/2023-foundation-year-running-consistency/): In 2023, I stopped quitting. After years of starting and failing — including a year with just 3.05 km — I finally built consistency, structure, and belief. This is the foundation year that transformed me from an overweight beginner into a committed runner on the Road to UTMB.
- [Running Nutrition for Beginners: What to Eat Before, During, and After Runs](https://therunnerzone.com/running-nutrition-guide-beginners/): Running seems simple at first until you actually start learning about it. Plans, rules, and opinions quickly start to pile up. If you're new to running, feeling overwhelmed is completely normal.
- [Complete Running Gear Guide for Beginners: What You Actually Need](https://therunnerzone.com/running-gear-guide-beginners/): When I restarted running, I thought I needed hundreds of euros worth of gear to look like a "real runner." I spent hours researching compression socks, heart rate monitors, GPS watches, and premium running shoes.  I was wrong about most of it.
- [Running Motivation for Beginners: Mental Tricks That Actually Work](https://therunnerzone.com/running-motivation-beginners-mental-tricks/): Let me be honest with you: if you’ve been following my Ultimate Beginner’s Running Guide and step-by-step starting plan, you’re probably discovering what I learned the hard way – getting started is only half the battle.
- [How to Actually Start Running](https://therunnerzone.com/how-to-start-running/): Running isn’t as simple as “just put one foot in front of the other.” If it were, more people would stick with it.
- [The Ultimate Beginner’s Running Guide: What I Wish I Knew Before I Started](https://therunnerzone.com/beginners-running-and-gear-guide/): When I first started running, I had no idea what I was doing. I thought I needed to go fast, I didn't understand fueling, and I wore the wrong shoes.
