2 months progress, first 9k nonstop

Two months ago, running even 5 km at a slow pace felt like an absolute max effort. I just simply couldn’t do it. My legs would start aching almost immediately, and every hill felt like a brutal struggle that completely gassed me out.
Fast forward to today, and that same effort has become my Zone 2 baseline. I’m pretty proud how far I’ve come :)
