High places, trails and training with a splash of fashion and rhythm flavour
Hard practise I tell you! Clear to say I have not been so into blogging about training since this is my first training post this year. Why, I don't know. I have been training, but maybe it's because I have not had any clear goal that I have felt like "I have nothing to say" [...]
No doubt year 2020 was very different to me and not only because of covid-19 but also because I climbed to Kilimanjaro and after that didn't climb or run for the next 8 months. My IT band inflammation was a complete surprise to me and extremely hard mentally to cope with. I am used to [...]
So where do I start? From the fact that when schools start it's always chaos for our family for a few weeks. This time the chaos seemed to last forever. It's been two months and I still feel like I am in a fast spinning wheel. Blogging has been on my mind, but unfortunately I [...]
I cannot even start to express how grateful I am that finally there has been some progress on the healing and I have been able to train (a bit) without any pain on my left knee. I think it was around mid July when there was a clear change. I was getting fairly desperate with [...]
A bit of relaxing at a waterpark The only good part about June was that I was on holiday. We had fun with the kids camping by lakeside. Weather was perfect until we got a quick thunderstorm but the tent stayed dry inside so nothing to worry! It was almost midsummer so there was daylight [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Got the doctors approval letter for Kili and my hemoglobin levels are also now OK back to "my normal" which is around 120-125 but ferritin level is still too low and I need to keep taking iron. Training front. Not aching anywhere so could have gone to gym normally but went only once. For obvious [...]
Since the year has changed I thought it would be nice to look back and examine what did I do on the exercise front. Indoor climbing has been a new hobby I know without looking at any statistics that I exercised more this year than the last, but how much? Well the amount of individual [...]
