TSTomáš Staněk

Tom takes on his first official half marathon, determined to go sub-2:30 and finally change the narrative in his head. After a tough training block, this race is his chance to put the negative thoughts behind him and prove what he’s really capable of. In this video, we follow Tom as he pushes his limits and takes on his biggest running challenge yet.
