Latest plan after my tiny knee mishap was to get half marathon training ready in two weeks. Sounded very reasonable at the time. Then life happened and I got the flu! Just as the rest of the population worldwide. So week one just passed by... And again I need to change my schedule and see … Continue reading Post-flu things

I don't like water, except my own hottub baths I regularly take, I don't like swimming, I'm really bad at it, I really really really suck at it. I don't even know how to do a proper freestyle stroke. My asthma makes it even more challenging. And her I am, with all my swimming accessories. … Continue reading Bucket list item

My blog died a little bit. A little bit? It died completely! I still like to write, even better, I really love it! But why did I stop writing? Too busy? Did life happen? If it meant that much to me, I would have made time to write. This blog lost its purpose to me. … Continue reading A new path
Back up – #13 Oslo Diary
I jinxed it! Bragging about how awesome and fast I got with my running. Bam! The next day sore throat and a cold and 10 days a lot of stress and studying. I missed 2 runs in 10 day and running felt heave and not awesome anymore. Worst thing is, I failed that stupid test too. … Continue reading Back up – #13 Oslo Diary
No air – #10 Oslo Diary
No ai-ai-air... That Jordin Sparks song pops in my head. I actually like that song. It's nice poppy and easy. For years I used to have no air. Running with no air. The feeling of breathing through a thin straw. Breathing as hard as you can and you alway will gasp for more air. Your … Continue reading No air – #10 Oslo Diary
So far – #9 Oslo Diary
It has been a crazy busy week. Saturday I had this huge exam for my college. I have almost been studying 24/7. I didn't do as much running and Crossfitting as I supposed to. But I did pass the test with 7 (B-?)! And that was my priority this week. Well, I did study for … Continue reading So far – #9 Oslo Diary
Try again & again – #7 Oslo Diary
My week schedule consists of 3 runs and 2 or 3 Crossfit sessions. If you plan ahead all your activities with a bit of discipline, it hardly can go wrong. But sometimes no matter how hard you try, and how well planned your schedule is, it just goes wrong... Take a look at my week: … Continue reading Try again & again – #7 Oslo Diary
Systematic Vol. II – #6 Oslo Diary
So, okay, I finally figured it out how to prep for my first marathon. It took me a while to figure it out, but I think I have it coverd now. I cut my prep in two pieces. Each piece or phase has a goal on its own. I think if you cut your prep … Continue reading Systematic Vol. II – #6 Oslo Diary
Systematic – #5 Oslo Diary
I have been giving it a lot of thought how to prepare for my first marathon. And I think I figured it out somehow. Of course I had 2 half marathons to test some running plans. Let's talk about that journey first. For my first half marathon I used an Asics schedule based on pace. … Continue reading Systematic – #5 Oslo Diary
No! – #4 Oslo Diary
Early December I told someone I haven't been ill in two years and how proud I was of myself. I've never should've said that, I jinxed it! The other day I had a cold. Asthma, colds and allergies go pretty well together. They're like some sort of synergy to make your body deteriorate within days. … Continue reading No! – #4 Oslo Diary
