One of my main goals this year was to improve my own physical performance and to help my teammates do the same. I attended all practices, supplementing with morning sessions, to ensure consistent training and to maintain a high level of discipline.

By focusing on improving my own endurance, speed, and technique, I started recognizing the personal growth I was making as an athlete. Additionally, the extra sessions I led on Wednesdays and Fridays were designed to help both newer and more experienced runners build endurance, speed, and teamwork—contributing to the overall fitness and spirit of the team.

As one of the co-captains leading extra practices, I had to design workouts and fun warm-ups for the team. The challenge of balancing the team's development with fun, varied practices encouraged me to think outside the box and continuously adjust our sessions based on the team’s needs and progress.
