I don't run to prove something. I run because I like it.
And because, in the meantime, running has become my way of understanding the world.
I'm Marius. I've been running for years, on asphalt, on mountains, through foreign cities or on roads I know by heart. I've run short races, marathons, ultras, I've gone through euphoria, through failures, through days when everything went wrong and through days when everything made sense. Records didn't interest me. Stories did.
The Running Story Teller came from a simple need: to put order in experiences and tell them further, as they are. Without cosmetics. Without cardboard motivational speeches. Just running, road, fatigue, joy, people, places.
I write about real training, not ideal ones. About races exactly as I experience them. About equipment tested in long runs, not around the block. About what works and what doesn't, without selling universal recipes.
Running didn't change my life overnight. It changed it slowly, kilometer by kilometer.
And this site is the journal of that journey.
If you're here for true stories, genuinely lived experiences and running told without filters, you're in the right place.
