In Gothenburg, briefly

I flew in from Switzerland last night and directly to the European Champs area in Gotenburg. We stay in a hotel quite close to the stadium – only 500 meters away. Just to get checked in and ready, plus to get some treatment on my legs.

The physio that was with me to London, Klas Eliasson who I have worked with for some years, was here to take care of me as well as the rest of the medical/team.

Then I will travel back again this evening to Oslo. Back in Oslo I have Johnny Høgseth plus Ynve Sundfjord who has been in teaching with Johnny for a couple of years now. He was with me the first part of my St Moritz June stay, knows my muscles well and has done an excellent job after being taught wisely by his master 🙂

I am now resting after altitude. Just taking it very easy + keeping the system going somewhat with shorter sessions. The heats of the 5000 meters is on Thursday and the finals on Sunday. I was also entered in the 10000 but will not run there (it has been pretty clear for a while now) Of course because of the leg problem but also because I think it is better for me to focus on my core event – the 5k and not risk going into that tired from a 10000 only a few days before.

All well from Gothenburg !

Back from Gotenburg

Online again after the European Championships down in Gotenburg. Just arrived back yesterday evening after the final on Sunday. Two difficult races down there.

Like before I am feeling fine up to around 2500-3000 meters (just like in Rome even though the pace there was 7.57-58 and the physical shape now is better) before getting into the same kind of trouble. Absolutely no way to continue pushing. Very frustrating.

It it now just a matter of giving it some rest. So just running outside of the track plus strides to help for the recovery 🙂

Briefly from Oslo again,

Resting after the season

I tried to take some days very easy after the European Champs, even rest days, before testing the leg on a threshold sessions two days ago. Even though it improved dramatically just during the period before the Europeans (and even between prelims and final there) it is still not well enough to even finish up hard trainings – let alone races.

So it is time to give it some real rest now and let it heal nice + steadily.

School has just started up again, moving down to Ullevål hospital from the Rikshospital. More and more clinical work so plenty to do in the time to come 🙂 A semester of in depth heart,lung + kidneys with more focus on pathology than previous semesters. Really looking forward to it. It will be quite challenging but as long as it is intersting it should be no problem..

A small update from here,

Off to the US

I am off to the US now, in the beginning off next week – to Chicago where I attended high school. Will be quite interesting to be back there again, ten years (!) since I graduated there 🙂 It was there I started the real hard training for the mid to longer distances – a very, very motivational year.

I am training every other day now, doing mostly good quality things to keep the system going. Some longer reps, mixed in with shorter stuff. Just long easy running is the best way to lose shape quickly.. The leg is feeling fine now, so no problem keeping a rytm in racing flats now. Quite a relief after the problems I had this summer 🙂

All well from Oslo, looking forward to a trip to the US again

Press relase today

I have sent out a press release today concerning my running career. I took some time after the season to figure out what to do, in terms of running and school.

Published: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 by Marius

We have now done the switch from more theoretical work in school to spending our days at hospitals doing clinical work for the next year. Very interesting, but it also requires more long continous work.

So I have decided to put the focus on this for the schoolyear to come. Right now I have really no plans in terms of the time after that, I will just start to do the detraining now for health reasons as I have been training twice daily for the last 11 years. I have been asked today if this is merely a rest year or what but I would not call it that. It is just a matter of what I wish at the moment but at the same time it is impossible to tell what the future will bring. And it is really not something one has to decide right now 🙂

This page will still be up for a while, before deciding what to do with it.

From Oslo,

Marius
