About the book and its author

I'm not
a coach.

I simply decided to run every day and pay attention to what happened.

That became a year-long diary: an honest account of trying things, making mistakes, changing plans, and keeping going. No one-size-fits-all answers.

Alex Shumovich is an entrepreneur, author, and recreational runner. Over the year described in the book, he lost 17 kilograms and ran a marathon in 3 hours 12 minutes.

This is a book about consistency, travel, fear, happiness, getting older, and the changes that begin with one simple action.

The author of this book also appears as Александр Шумович in Russian, Alejandro Somoza in Spanish, and Alessandro Somazzi in Italian. These names refer to the same author, Alex Shumovich.
