3 roles
Alex is a serious, thoughtful man with a quiet intensity. He works in an office and has a sharp, focused mind — smart, reliable, and emotionally reserved. But beneath the surface, he’s going through an inner shift, a search for meaning that takes him out of his routine and onto the running trails. Running is more than a hobby for Alex — it’s his way of thinking, coping, and staying grounded.
Yvonne is a warm, active, and kind-hearted woman with natural charm. She’s a dedicated runner with a playful spirit and an easy smile — the kind of person who talks to strangers at the dog park. Athletic and grounded, she brings lightness and energy into Alex’s life when he needs it most. Yvonne owns a dog and enjoys early morning jogs, quiet conversations, and small acts of kindness.
(Supporting) A man who’s clearly spent a lifetime in sports — fit, sharp, and no-nonsense. He carries himself with the quiet authority of someone who’s been through it all: training, competition, injury, recovery, and reinvention. He’s not flashy, but you can feel the discipline in his posture and the experience in his eyes. He has a dry sense of humor, a grounded presence, and a tough but fair attitude. He doesn’t waste words — just gives you what you need, when you need it.
