Things weren't going so well in October last year. I could no longer express myself at work and I was injured, which meant that running was no longer possible.
I knew I wanted to do things differently, I wanted to be more confident.
I had been following Petra on social media for some time and had also met her before. Her energy appealed to me and also her honesty. That kick in the ass was what I needed.
The first appointment was quickly made. And here Petra immediately made me think. Why are you always busy with all kinds of peripheral matters? Why don't you just start? Action, that's what is needed!
In addition, I was of course also injured, so running was not immediately an option. But that doesn't mean I couldn't do anything. The basis was to first become stronger (strength) and then build up very slowly with a new technique. It was almost two months between the last time I ran and when I was allowed to walk 2 minutes again. Then I walked short distances with a lot of walking in between, but that didn't spoil the fun. I am now back to the level where I ended up and perhaps even better than before.
On a personal level, I started working with Petra to become more who I want to be. A confident Mariska who knows what she wants and what she can do. And even though I'm not quite where I want to be yet, I have already made great strides in this direction. I know what I can do and who I want to be! Petra helped me to stand firmly on my feet again, on a personal level and as a runner. She regularly kicks me in the ass to get out of my comfort zone. Just go ahead and do it, see what happens. She also helps me to dream and set goals that may even be or seem a bit unrealistic. But I set things in motion with a bit of humor, in order to earn a sticker from the teacher.
Greetings, Mariska
