Week started with a nice 12,2 kilometers run/walk/stair climbing combo on a sunny afternoon. After running 36 kilometers the previous week and now this on top my legs called it quits. I normally run max 25 kilometers a week so I had run almost twice that much in one week so no wonder my legs …

Training – W12/2020 Covid-19 is here, gyms are closed
The virus found Finland also and is spreading faster. Government is reacting to it accordingly and encouraging self isolation and avoiding social meetings and places. Private entrepreneurs are doing their best to avoid it from spreading like we all are so my gym closed it’s doors for now. You are encouraged to keep children at …
Training – W11/2020 Easy week and virus getting closer
Getting back to “normal” training reminded me of how stiff my muscles are and realized something must be done so decided that I will start taking Yoga classes at my gym to get a bit more flexibility and stretching to my body. I have been training so hard in the past year that I have …
Training – W10/2020 Finally a bit more training
Getting back to normal and a bit more training finally after a break. I still felt tired after training but it wasn’t as bad as the week before. Covid-19 virus was also spreading around the world already but there were not that many cases yet in Finland so we decided to go for a weekend …
Training – W9/2020 Back home and back to training
I was full of energy to go running and to the gym after I got back from Kili. I thought I could just return to normal, but it seemed like my body had other thoughts. I went for a few runs, but was totally exhausted after them and they were not even very hard runs. …
Training – W8/2020 Summit day and downhill
Second week was more trekking again up and down. We reached the highest altitude to everyone and also went almost 2000 meters down to get off the mountain. This last week was physically very demanding due to the altitude sickness symptoms, but also going downhill was in a way hard because we were going faster …
Training – W7/2020 Trekking, trekking and trekking
The amount of trekking we did was admirable and not just in kilometers but in altitude. I was surprised how much more calories you consume going uphill than what you would on flat ground. Probably altitude gain has something to do with it also as at least my heart rate started to increase the higher …
Training – W6/2020 Last week training
Last week of training before Kili. Not that I can make any changes anymore but wanted to train a bit more since when in Kili I know I won’t be able to go for a run or gym at all. I am so used to running that the possibility of not being able to run …
Training – W5/2020 Easy training and waiting
Last week before heading out to the unknown… Not much training or much else but just waiting. Very quick post to say I went for a few runs, but that was it. Weather has been on and off below zero so Tanzania will be an improvement in any scale. Still would have hoped for a …
Training – W4/2020 Waiting game and making sure everything is ready
Past week has been way too busy at work and on top of everything my car broke which was kind of the last straw and decided it it time to get rid of a 7 seater and get a “normal” car. A bit of hassle there nyt have done some training. Mostly concentrating on going …
