Welcome to my channel!
I’m an amateur runner on a quest for fitness... or at least a good excuse to skip the gym. When I’m not running (or pretending to), you’ll find me diving into novels, getting lost in history, or watching far too many films because let’s face it, who needs a social life when you have great stories?
On this channel, I’ll be sharing my running journey, book reviews, historical deep dives, film recommendations, and probably way too many opinions about movies that no one asked for. Whether you’re here for some running motivation, a historical rabbit hole, or just need someone to rant about the best films of all time, you’re in the right place.
Join me as I attempt to balance running, reading, and watching an endless stream of cinematic masterpieces all while trying not to trip over my own feet and maybe even inspire you to add a few more miles, books, or films to your life.
Let’s run, read, and watch together. Because why not do all the things we love?

8 May 1429: The English siege of Orleans is broken by Joan of Arc and the French army. This was the watershed of the Hundred Years' War between France and England. It was the French royal army's first major military victory to follow the crushing defeat at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. For half a year the English appeared to be winning but the siege collapsed nine days after Joan's arrival.

🇬🇧 🇩🇰 2 April 1801: The British fleet led by Horatio Nelson destroys the Danish fleet in the naval Battle of Copenhagen during the Napoleonic wars.

The Royal Navy won a resounding victory, besting fifteen Danish warships while losing none in return.

On 14 February 1797, the British fleet under Admiral Sir John Jervis defeats the larger Spanish fleet under Admiral Don José de Córdoba y Ramos near Cape St. Vincent, Portugal during the Anglo-Spanish war. The British victory helped to secure Britain's access to the Mediterranean. Though the Spanish navy was defeated, it was not a decisive defeat, such as the Royal Navy would inflict on the French in the Battle of the Nile two years later.
