Running profile
Steeplechase focus, long patience, official results.
Running and research ask for many of the same things: pacing, recovery, and the willingness to keep showing up when progress only becomes visible over time. This page now keeps the official profiles, rankings, and race imagery together.

Photo journal
More of the running page now feels like running.
A few of the images from the folder now live here directly, and the wider layout uses photography more like atmosphere instead of only decoration.
Water jump, race face, and the kind of image that earns its place on a running page.
A cleaner side-on image for the more technical feel of track running.
A tighter race image that works both as a gallery shot and as background texture.
A podium moment to keep the page from feeling only effort and no arrival.
Parallel project
The other half of the site is the PhD and research page.
The two pages now intentionally feel different, but they still point at the same long-term habits: consistency, careful iteration, and progress that compounds over time.
