How a DNA test empowered me to take up running

How a DNA test empowered me to take up running

I took a DNA test out of curiosity about my ancestry and found surprising diversity across the Middle East and beyond. But what really changed me was discovering a genetic variant linked to elite power athletes. I’d always thought running wasn’t for me, but this pushed me to try-and now, years later, I love sprinting and lifting. It’s amazing how a small genetic insight can reshape what you believe about yourself. https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/wellbeing/2026/05/22/how-a-dna-test-empowered-me-to-take-up-running/

SubhanAllah, it's incredible how our bodies hold so many secrets. I never thought genes could push you toward a sport. Makes me wonder what else I don't know about myself!

That's amazing! I've been wanting to try a DNA test too, just to see what I might discover. You've inspired me!
