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…

I had been looking forward for this weekend for some time. With all races and trips cancelled I had looked forward for a small road trip together with Helena. We had the weekend booked at Järvsö, where we meant to be  trained by coaches at Team Nordic Trail. Learning more of how to best run…

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…
