My running history: backgroung for future training talks

Hi runners and outdoor enthusiasts!
I wrote this post to give you a background of my history in the sport before starting to talk about training, which is one of my goals on Steemit. I don't have any degree in sport performance but I am really into it, first for myself but also by training a few young cross country skiers of the local team in France. My knowledge in based on my experiences and what I was able to learn by myself on the internet over the years.

I would like to make a statement that everyone is genetically born a bit different but that training makes more than 80% of the performance. Of course some people would have better dispositions to be long distance runners or sprinters.

I am not a conventional runner as I only had ran on trails and a little bit on the track.

**My history in the sport **

I started running at about 6 years old while I played soccer until 13 years old. In parallel I used to do cross country skiing every winter performing until 13 where I stopped competing until 17.
Cross country skiing was my first endurance sport and is following me all my life. I also started Cross country mountain biking at age 8 and never stopped until now except some years only biking on the road.
So my history in endurance sport was already pretty big until 17 when I started to run for fun first. I raced my first cross country race this year and discovered a new passion. Since then I kept increasing my distances, number of training and races.

Physical data

Max heart rate: 197 per minute

I also passed a VO2max test as I was 16 years old but is now irrelevant so I will update this part if I take another one in the future.
