Throughout the fun run activities of Road to Pocari Sweat Run Indonesia 2023 #laribarengjenius in various cities, Jenius has heard inspiring stories from runners about their journey into running, from training to participating in races both domestically and internationally.

One such inspirational story comes from Melanie Putria, a friend of Jenius and one of the 6 World Major Marathoners. Melanie shared how running has brought more happiness, empowerment, and purpose to her life since she started in 2011.

According to Melanie, several important factors are necessary to begin running, including setting goals for training and having the right equipment such as suitable shoes and comfortable clothing. She also highlighted the significance of smartwatches to monitor running progress and boost motivation, as well as learning proper running techniques and understanding our physical capabilities.

"Starting running is not an instant process; it requires determination, commitment, and consistency. It begins with small steps to achieve further progress, ultimately leading to participating in races or running events. It's also essential to prepare in various aspects, such as understanding proper running techniques to minimize injuries, having appropriate running gear, and of course, financial preparation," said Melanie Putria, a friend of Jenius and one of the 6 World Major Marathoners.

Melanie also shared how Jenius helped her during her race in early July 2023 in Gold Coast, Australia, making transactions more seamless. She utilized Jenius' Foreign Currency feature by purchasing Australian dollars (AUD) directly from the Jenius app for ease of transactions during her time there. After buying AUD, Melanie linked it to her Jenius Visa Debit Card (m-Card), and all transactions, from public transportation to daily necessities, were directly deducted from her AUD balance. This allowed Melanie to focus more on preparing for the race.
