At school I hated it because I was terrible at sprints. We only practiced short distances like 100m, 200m or 1500m. And in fact, I was bad at all of them! I didn\\u0026rsquo;t realize I might be good at long distance, it never came up to mind.

It was idyllic - I would spend whole days outside with friends, climbing trees, exploring, being surrounded by nature. Our parents didn\\u0026rsquo;t worry, they\\u0026rsquo;d just see us at the end of the day. It was a carefree, blissful childhood. \\u0026nbsp;\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;span class=\\u0026quot;interviewq\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;span style=\\u0026quot;white-space-collapse: preserve;\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;When did things begin to change for you?\\u0026lt;\/span\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;\/span\\u0026gt;I didn\\u0026rsquo;t do much running until 2015, when I moved to London for law school. I was a corporate lawyer, had just finished 18 months of traveling, and felt really unfit. I wanted to meet people, so I joined a social running club. Running became somehow my social life. \\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;When I was on redundancy leave in Lockdown, I signed up for a half Ironman to keep myself busy. But with pools closed and cycling complicated, I ended up just running a lot. A coach saw me in the park and asked if I needed help. I had no idea what I was doing \\u0026ndash; I had literally googled a triathlon plan. From there on, coaching gave me structure, and the journey all began.\\u0026rdquo; \\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;span class=\\u0026quot;interviewq\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;How did you balance the period of starting running on a higher level while still working as a full-time lawyer? \\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;\/span\\u0026gt;It was exhausting \\u0026ndash; getting up at six in the morning to train, going to the office for at least 12 hours a day, and then train again in the evening.

Leaving law for professional running was a big leap of faith. Law was a secure and prestigious career, while sport felt uncertain and volatile. It was in 2022, when I signed my first contract.
