Back on track;)

This wednesday I started with some easy running again since the twisted ankle on Jukola, and before Jukola I hasn’t been able to run continuously since midd May. So after yesterdays 2nd place in the sprint selections I feel satisfied to be back again.

I been doing almost only rollerskiing and some rowing the last one and a half month and still I was able to keep the same speed as Øystein Kvaal Østerbø and Jerker Lysell. I did almost 20 seconds on a stupid mistake in the end, letting go of the concentration and lost the first place against Lysell. But at the moment I don’t care much, I’m happy that I could run. Feels motivating knowing I could hold the same speed almost without any running recently.

Now I’m hoping to stay free from injuries and being able to run better and and more offensive as my twisted foot gets better.

.

The last days my knee has not improved so I had to decline. Instead I’m home training whatever I can do at the moment (rollerski, rowing with one leg, strenght etc.) If everything goes as planed I’m back running next week and hopefully I can participate on the Swedish team camp in Trondheim begining 9th of June.

That’s the plan, if it goes as planned;)

10mila was quite disappointing for the team with a 20th place. We had a harch start and I think I can say that the selfconfidence disapeared a bit in the team after that. The happy surprice was that the second team did good and finished 78th and some of the youngsters did really good races!

I run the last leg and was quite motivated to run and pick some places. Had quite many smal misstakes but felt quite ok physically. The map was huge and I had some problems to fold the map and stay in touch with my orienteering. Still an ok race, surprisingly just 40 sek after Daniel Hubmann who was fastest.

On the Friday before 10mila was the first Elitserie competition for me this season, a sprint i Norrköping. Made a big misstake in the begining and never got into the race, stressed and made small misstakes. Havn’t run any sprints this season and need some more high speed orienteering untill I can start making results on that distance. Got an 11th place, 1.07 after Daniel Hubmann who outclassed the opponents.

I had a shorter camp with the club from friday to monday the past week in the Kålmården forest. We runn the Stigtomta relay and after some good legs and some not so good ones I was sent out on the last leg on 12th possition. Had a quite good run and it felt ok physicly after some tough training. In the end I tried to speed up but lost some concentration and made 1.30 just before the spectator controll and got catched buy a group of runners (Sedevy, Kowalsky and Runesson) that I catched and got away from a little earlier. Got beaten big time in the finish bye Kowalsky and runn in to a 9th possition.

Still an ok feedback that my legs starts to adapt to running and running in the forest. Looking forward to this weekend and the first bigger competitions for this year but still a lot of training and it will continue to be like that for a while. I need the hard training to be able to fight for the medals in Trondheim.

This weekend I did my first orienteering since last year on O-ringen on Swedish ground. Kolmårdskaveln, 1st leg though we lost some fast running guys in the ash… Smola, Sadeckas and Krepsta where suposed to come but they where prevented becouse of Eyjafjallajökull.

So first leg for me. Big misstake on the first controll, couldn’t understand the map but it was just to restart and after some more controlls and kilometers later I catched the leading group. At the spectators conroll I was alone. Quite tired at that point after running fast in the forest and lifting my legs, some more adaption needed… I keept the controll and managed to stay in front alone afte some smaller mistakes on the last loop.

This weekend IFK Mora has a camp before 10-mila and we will also run Stigtomtakaveln. Looking forward for some good training and nice snow free terrain and also hoping that the airspace allows some of Mora-Rockets to come;)

Clermont-Ferrand, green and uggly, though to begin in

In France I started easy, not so mutch physicly but with the orienteering part. We startet in the vulcanic terrain close to Clermont-Ferrand and it was a green hell for me who hasn’t been running many steps in the forest since last year in august. It feels a little frustrating in the start to be a bit behind but the good part is that I can realy see and feel the improvments;)

Fountainbleu, mutch more runnable, mutch more my kind of terrain

Now I’m into a trainingperiod at home, looking forward. Still a little bit to mutch snow to run in the forrest here so there will be some running on roads and runningbelt instead.

Now I’m into a training period that started smoothly in Spain and on Friday I’m of to France for 10 more days without snow but with the map;) Looking forward for the coming months to get some good training. One step at a time bringing me closer to my goals…

Efter att ha haft några sega veckor med dålig rygg och tung kropp börjar det kännas lite bättre. Det är inte mycket kvar av skidsäsongen för min del. StafettVasan på fredag och eventuellt Vasaloppet ifall det känns ok. Ser fram emot fredagen stafett då de blir den enda för i år på skidor. Får se hur mycket jag behöver bränna på, litar på de andra i laget;) Jocke och Lars verkar stekheta inför söndagen. Kör för Team Fiskarheden tillsammans med Lars Suther, Jocke Engström, David Frisk och veteranen;)  Nicklas Karlsson.

I veckan efter bär det av till Spanien på första barmarkslägret tillsammans med bland annat ultralöparen Jonas Buud och min tjeckiska klubbkompis Michel Smola  som jag träffar för första gången sen VM-stafetten i somras. Sedan landslagsamling i Frankrike och så rullar det på… Hopppas få några bra månader med träning nu.
