Daria Yartseva

Sports Photographer

My name is Daria, I am 35 years old and I am an amateur runner.

My story with running began about five years ago with jogging after work in the park at home. The first distance of 10 km seemed to be something impossible. Now I have several marathons and two ultra starts with a length of 54 km on my account.

My running passion is long distances. The goal for next year is 80 km.

Running has become more than just a hobby, it has firmly entered into my work — I am a professional sports photographer.

In the running club I met people close in spirit, we practice running tourism: we go to the starts and discover new cities.

Constant training helps me to stick to the regime and be in shape. While jogging, I come up with new projects or structure my thoughts. 

Running is a way of life, it's more than a sport!
