I was trying to get back on track with training this week, but time simply has not been on my side lately. I have been struggling with trying to find time even for a short run and it seem like time is flying so fast I can’t keep up with it. Normally my amount should …

Training W35 – It certainly was more good news
After my “injury” on Saturday I had to take it easier for a few days. Sunday I felt a bit like being hit with something and in this case it was quite accurate as I had been hit by a rock, literally. My neck and right shoulder blade was hurting so gym was out of …
Training W34 – Bad news and good news
Week 34 started off good with really intense gym session after which I felt like I can do anything! Managed to do chin-ups easily. Still only one at time but multiple times with short 20 second breaks. On my lunch break I did my usual running route and managed to improve my 12 min “coopers …
Training W33 – More progress and busy hobby week
I went for a long trail run (11,63 kilometers) on Sunday to Sipoonkorpi and was pretty tired and exhausted this week still too. Although I was tired the run was great and it felt pretty easy so I can see some progress there too as earlier closer to 10 k’s and usually I have been …
Training W32 – Finding motivation and finally progress
In the beginning of the week I was a bit down and could not seem to find motivation at all. Legs were sore from gym and running again on flat surfaces and I felt like there is no progress at all and I’m just torturing myself for nothing. Even made this video about my lost …
Training W31 – Easy rest week
After all that hiking and work starting it was obvious I could not do the amount of training I did earlier two weeks. Decided that I will do what I can, but no pressure and no tight schedules. Last thing you need when starting work again after holiday and kids going back to school is …
Training W30 – Second hiking week
Second week of holiday so naturally more training than normally. Unfortunately I got a bit sick towards the end of the Lofoten islands visit so had to take easier for a few days. Still we did all the activities we had planned, maybe just a bit slower the two last hikes. I kept monitoring my …
Training W29 – Full on hiking week!
Last week was a full on hiking week! We were both so excited to finally be on holiday and wanted to do all sorts of different thing so the week total was a bit high… First hike was Taivaskero, second Saana, third Malla National park, fourth Bromorstinden and fifth Queen’s route. I am so proud …
Training W28 – Holiday mode and learning to ride a bike
I am clearly in the holiday mode as I sleep until 9:30 am and and have done double the amount of training activities than normally. Being on holiday with kids is fairly active and a full day job on its own. We have been to museums, Suomenlinna fortress island, Korkeasaari zoo, climbing in an outdoor …
Training W27 – Trying to keep up with the good start
Week was OK, but clearly office move + pre-holiday hassle at work has taken its toll and I was pretty exhausted the whole week even without exercise. Managed to get something done though. First run was a 10 k trail run at Sipoonkorpi National forest on Sunday. Terrain was very versatile from rugged cliff to …
