S.I.: Were there any difficulties on your way?
A.L.: The only difficulty was physically going through all of this at the beginning. I woke up at 4 AM every day and ran 10 kilometers in the morning and in the evening. The first two weeks were tough to get used to such a pace.
S.I.: What motivated you and helped you maintain that motivation?
A.L.: One day, I just sincerely felt that I needed to do this and wanted it. Everything was based on willpower. When you see that your efforts yield good results, it's easier to keep going. Even though it was very hard both mentally and physically, the process didn't stress me out because it was my sincere desire.

S.I.: What advice would you give to our readers?
A.L.: Everything will definitely work out! The main thing is to start, believe in yourself, and see it through to the end. The result is always worth it. Even if you make mistakes or stumble along the way — don't stop. And don't be afraid to sacrifice something, because without sacrifices, you can't achieve victory.
