47 years old, wife and two teenagers,
About 9 years ago I realized that my health was not what it should be at 38 years old. I weighed around 100kg, which is a bit too much if you are 182cm tall.
Joints and ligaments hurt, couldn’t get up from sitting without pain.
Have tried to get in shape before and it was before my wedding.
But after the wedding I had no more goals. Which meant that I was quickly back to my previous situation.
To succeed and maintain, I must have goals with my training.
Every year I have made sure that the goal, more recently it has been to be able to participate in various races and events.
I started with Gymnastics, within the TeamGym discipline, because it was the closest, due to my daughter already doing it, and they have a senior group.
Over the years I have trained and “competed” in this.
But today I am only a licensed leader, as gymnastics is enormously stressful for the body.
To challenge myself, I decided to drive a Swedish classic.
Training began in 2018 to complete the event in 2019.
A Swedish classic consists of four branches that must be completed within a calendar year.
- 90 km long skis (Vasaloppet)
- 300 km, cycling (Vätternrundan)
- 3 km open water swimming (Vansbro swimming)
- 30 Trail running (Lidingö race)
I got hooked on cycling so much time is spent on Zwift and lately I’ve also started trying triathlons and some fitness events.
