Running profile
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.

The running side now carries some of the atmosphere too, not just the numbers.

Official pages
World Athletics gives the global result history and ranking. European Athletics adds the continental athlete page and ranking view for the same profile.

The European Athletics historical-data page gives the matching athlete profile and ranking view on the European side.

Photo journal
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 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.
