+1 for smartwatches
Smartwatches do give you that extra push to go the extra mile, even when you're exhausted and ready to quit.

I started jogging after 2 years because I am about to go on a trek. I took up trekking in 2021 and since then it's been my only therapy. Nothing else worked. So I did 4 treks in 1.5 years. I love statistics and data and it is keeping me motivated to maintain (or beat) the distance I cover in a set amount of time. Right now doing 3.75 kms in 35 mins. Aiming to touch 5kms in the next 30 days.

I am having a hard time moving on. Its been 4 years since I lost my 2nd family (who adopted me) to COVID. Lost my 1st when I was 7 days. Since 2021 there have been small patches of happiness ( mostly materialistic ones but they keep me occupied ) but nothing has helped me move on. The old times were so good and its addictive to keep thinking about them. I lost my first teacher last week and it was like a brutal punch which reminded me how I am continuously losing people. I never succumbed to Alcohol because I thought it's necessary to feel the pain and not escape it. There's only anger that this happened to me all of a sudden and less sadness.

Sorry for sharing too much info. I really just don't care about people judging me anymore.

Try the Couch 2 5k app to systematically train your runs.. i recommend starting from week 4 or 5.. since you can already easily cover 3.5km.
 
@mayank4823 Stay strong, brother, and hold on tight. The world can be harsh, and life is never easy. Everyone is fighting their own battles, and we have no choice but to confront them. Better days are ahead. Hope is the key to overcoming hardship.
