Faris Adamفريق Saudi Arabia

نبذة عني

I am Fares Adam, aged 21.
I started running with a running community at the end of 2019 after suffering from obesity. My main target was to lose weight, and within 6 months I was able to reach the desired weight. I participated in my first trail race in the city of Al-Ula and won second place in the 10 km distance. It was a surprise to everyone, even to me. I did not expect that!
Along my running journey I have discovered some secrets that made me develop faster. I trained under elite coaches including international coach Khalifa Omar, and I am currently training under the Saudi record holder in the half marathon, Captain Abdullah Al-Joud. Within 3 months I was able to break my personal record in the Half Marathon by 6 minutes, from 1:24 to 1:18. I still aspire for the best.
When I heard about ASICS FrontRunner, I felt that it was an opportunity to represent the famous brand and to be the youngest ambassador for ASICS in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. One of my main goals is to encourage others to embrace a sports lifestyle. I hope, by sharing my own simple journey, to be a source of inspiration and motivation for others.
