Croeso. I’m elis, and this is my website.

We’re currently destroying the habitability of our planet. I want to help change this. That’s why I hope to be of service to the Earth and to nature, which we are all part of.

My philosophy is to live simply and in alignment with my values. My time is split between doing physics and other hobbies, such as running, cooking, and playing the guitar. All the better if with family and friends.

I like creating more than I consume, which is why I created this website. Hopefully you can find something in my writing.

Also, I have no presence on any social media platforms.

My running journey

A lot has changed in my running recently. I started running when I first struggled with my mental health during the pandemic. Quite soon, I was eyeing up the longer stuff, signing up to an ultra during my first year at university. Over the next few years, I became hooked. But, slowly, something started to change - how my running made me feel. In pursuing numbers, I lost the joy that I once felt. Luckily, I realised that there’s an alternative.

Now, I no longer try to uphold my identity as a runner: I run simply to run - to connect with myself, nature, and others.

Results

I used to have a section here summarising my running results - where I placed, along with my times. I decided to remove it in an attempt to move away from results-driven running towards feeling-driven running.

Results don’t define us as runners.
