The Passion for Running, Interview with @joggeuse

Under her social media handle @Joggeuse, this 25-year-old Parisian shares her love for running. On Instagram, she creates and shares content that brings together a community of running enthusiasts with advice, tips, and amusing anecdotes.

How did you discover running?

« Running has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, almost a family tradition. As kids, my father would take my siblings and me for a run every Sunday afternoon, come rain, snow, or wind. I started athletics at 12 and did it for five years. I stopped running during my higher education but returned to my first love in 2022 and haven’t stopped since. »

What do you enjoy most about this sport?

There’s a multitude of things that fuel this passionate runner, but surprisingly, it’s not necessarily the finish line. « I love the journey, the effort, the motivation during the preparation phase… That’s what leads us to the finish. It’s like a project with stages: before, during, and after. It’s the solo endeavor that’s addictive; you push your limits, and it’s all up to you. »

A particularly memorable moment?

« I’d say my first marathon, in Paris, 2022, when I was 23. It was absolutely crazy; my loved ones were there, everyone was present when I finished. I couldn’t stop crying; it felt like an achievement, powered by the support of my family. » Her words reflect the passion and precious memories of that moment—a lasting blend of physical effort, recognition, and the loving support of her family.

» Running is truly a team sport. «

The unique aspect of running?

« Running is truly a team sport. I’m often accompanied during training, and in races, you’re never really alone. There’s a lot of people, we’re all friends… I believe without this support, you can’t progress. »

A dream in running?

« I dream of going to Australia, and of course, I’d love to run the Sydney Marathon, which is now part of the World Marathon Majors circuit. »

A motto before a marathon?

« Pasta, water, sleep », she exclaims with a laugh.

According to her, for it to truly resonate, you need to repeat it several times in a row. We tried it, and it almost stuck with us after the interview.

« On Instagram, Joggeuse devotes her account to her passion for running and challenges. She shares her training, tips, anecdotes… Creating content is her passion: she loves taking photos, making videos, creating Reels, and posting them. Her content is spontaneous, and she is passionate about motivating her community. »

As she rightly says: « Love and support are free and do good ».

Goals for 2025

For this year, Joggeuse has already secured several race bibs. Here’s her promising and ambitious calendar:

Paris Marathon, her favorite race, running in tandem with her dad to accompany him to the finish.

London Marathon, aiming to get closer to 3 hours (current PB: 3h10 in Paris 2024).

Geneva Marathon, to explore and enjoy the city.

Valencia Marathon, striving for sub-3 hours.

An action-packed year that promises to be incredible!
