I’ve seen the race High Valley 50 miles, and three summits/three hours in my social media flow for a long time, but I never had the opportunity or really the eager to try out the summits before. And boy have I missed something. Mikael invited a few friends from Trailrun4fun, to join him and enjoy…

After reading a Facebook post in a running group this morning, I realized that I’m just 530K away from my yearly best. There’s unfortunately also only 7 weeks left of the year.  Having been in a flat development in running for some time, without anything real challenging coming up in the near future it’s been hard to…

In a previous post, I among a few other things spoke about my feelings on following a training plan. Now a few weeks after, I realise once again that this with training plans isn’t really for me. Being used to a hectic tempo at work, with lots of deadlines, milestones to reach and deliverables to…

We Run Stockholm – Something new and exciting. With being a trail runner… (feels fairly good to say that) I haven’t run much in the city for the last couple of years due to the fright of injury and the boring repetitive loops. I thought it’s now time to change that. Me and my friend…

Wow… You have really lost weight. A frequent comment I’ve heard from people I hadn’t seen for years. The thing; I have never tried to lose weight… I have from several people been asked to share more on how I managed to lose so much weight. I thought I finally would take me some time…

I have this week continued with my training plan, perhaps not directly according to the plan, but I have managed to get the distance I wanted anyway. Following a training plan, is partly something that trigger me, partly something that I have a problem with. The biggest problem with following a training plan is that…
