How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country? (lemm.ee)

Feel free to define "average" how you see fit. This isn't about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

Incremental training. I started with Couch-to-5K. Highly recommend. Once you complete that program, increment weekly distance by no more than 10% per week until you reach your goal.

It's funny, I used that program several years ago when I didn't exercise at all. Currently running around 9km, three times a week.

I have this unrealistic dream to run the marathon but I feel like even if I could physically do it, I'd get bored. Half marathon seems doable, though.

I'm working on the same goal but I'm sidelined with ankle issues so I've been cycling like a madman instead. Hopefully I can restart my training plan this coming tuesday.
