Training 2020 totals – A very different year

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 [...]

Kilimanjaro – Day 8/10 – From Kibo to Horombo camp

Leaving Kibo camp heading towards Mawenzi peak Finally down hill, yay! I was so happy to go to bed knowing I would be "getting out of here". I was already feeling better, but still not good. Anything you did was an effort. Getting up and going to the toilet even! I had hard time falling [...]

Training – W10/2020 Finally a bit more training

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 [...]

Training – W3/2020 Back to gym and good news

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 [...]

Training – W2/2020 Baby steps and getting things together

So another week passed by of this year and my arm has started to feel a lot better already. What I did learn is that inflammatory drugs are not my things and I should stick to just Panadol! Of course it was good that I took them when the pain was at the worst but [...]

Training – Year 2019 totals

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 [...]

Training W50 – More Christmas hassle but tying to keep training on

It's been a while since my last post about something else than weekly training. Moving house caused a total chaos for our household that has lasted for a few months. There is really nothing you can do about, you just need to unpack one box at a time and get used to the new neighborhood. [...]

Finding high places – Repovesi National Park

Repovesi National park Suspension bridge was under renovation and not in use I was so happy I was feeling well enough to go for our planned hike to a National Park fairly close to our home for a day trip last Saturday. I have been wanting to go there for a while now as apparently [...]

Training W42 – Getting back to it slowly

Finally the flu seems to be subsiding and I have been slowly getting back to running. I still have not dared to do any HIIT training, but normal run 5,5 kilometers felt pretty OK. Unfortunately after that my nose was blocked again so put running to halt again for a few days, not that I [...]

Training W41 – Flu continues, training at stand still

There is really not much to tell about training last week. I did go to the Gym and a short walk after the Lake District challenge hike, but that was pretty much it. There was a lot to catch up at work and I still had some cough and runny nose so decided to just [...]
