Big Goals

I want to run a 100k (63 miles) within 2 years. I want to run it in 12 hours.

My fitness level right now is negative zilch. I get winded on one flight of stairs. I weigh roughly 119kg, the highest I've ever weighed.

Even at my most fit, in 2016, I couldn’t run faster than a 12 minute mile on flats and I was the weakest one in strength classes. 

But I want to do this.
