About Gediminas Grinius (G2)
40-year-old amateur runner, good father of two and with the help and blessing of my wife running about 10 years.
Gediminas started ultra-running as treatment, which helped him to cope with PDSD after military mission in Iraq.
Gediminas said: “ Eventually I wanted to run further and longer, my mind required new challenges and this how I found trail running. After the first taste of it I was infected and now trying to spread this virus among others.”
“The greatest lesson that I learnt is that: the worst things doesn’t happen without reason and usually is just prelude for good things to follow.”
