Adventure up north during the weekend: Björn and me drove friday evening, after work, up north hours past Idre (skiing resort) and in to Norway. We pitched up the tent at midnight in minus 11 degrees Celsius, and 1/2 meter snow. We slept fair. On saturday we took a long walk, leaving our camp behind, and walked through loads of snow. We aimed for a high mountain, and reached the summit on 1 280 meters (3700 feet) after a couple of hours. It was a beautiful day, clear sky, sun and minus 8 degrees C. Slept good that night after all the walking and climbing. Then sunday we drove home, due to frozen shoes. Björn walked in a wet area on the mountain, and his shoes froze. Also it started to snow at night, so we had to leave so we could drive home. (no winter tires on the car) We got out of the snow blizzard luckily! It was an amazing week end and I look forward to next time! I love snow, winter and all that comes with it!

FEBRUARY
Week 9. 22-28/2
Efter en veckas influensa har jag åkt skidor uppe i Björnrike. Snön var grym och det blev mycket off-pist åkning. Häftig andning och pulsen uppe i öronen var en skön känsla. Även drypande svett längs med ryggslutet och genomdränkt skidjacka hör till det goda med extrem skidåkning!
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 9/2
1h poweryoga och därefter 1h klättring. Jag och Björn tränade kondition på en relativt lätt vägg och klättrade upp och ner flera gånger utan vila. Därefter gjorde vi lite bouldering, för att köra slut på underarmarna och fingrarna.
/Kristina
SÖNDAG 8/2
1,5h på gymmet. Kändes bra! Jag kör enbart 1 set per muskelgrupp under 3 veckor. Därefter sker en förändring i gymträningen igen. Variation är viktigt så att musklerna inte blir varna.
/Kristina
FREDAG 6/2
KLättring med Björn. Sist vi klättrade ihop var utomhus, så det var ett tag sen sist. Det gick bra, men vi var båda svaga i fingarna, och jag var extra trött efter en mycket lång arbetsdag.
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 2/2
Efter 1 veckas influensa börjar jag med 1h poweryoga. Kändes bra, men jag är fortfarande svag.
/Kristina
…………………………………………………………………………………………
JANUARY
SÖNDAG 18/1 – 23/1
Skidåkning uppe i Ramundberget, 9.00-15.30. Jag som är inbiten telisåkare fick sadla om och lära mig åka slalom igen, så att jag kan åka off-pist i Alperna med Björn i framtiden. Det var roligt att åka slalom igen och jag hade glömt hur roligt det verkligen var! Fast jag kommer ändå alltid vara en telemarkstjej!!
/Kristina
TORSDAG 15/1
KLättring 2h. Härligt och gick riktigt bra! Stark i fingrarna och lederna.

MÅNDAG
Igår, måndag, sprang jag och Björn intervallsträning. Total tid: 1h. Vi sprang uppför en 400meter lång backe med lite lutning, och därefter joggade lugnt ner. Tio gånger gjorde vi detta. Jag fick möjligheten att prova min nyinköpta ryggsäck, en Haglöfs. Liten ryggsäck med vattenblåsa i. Funkade bra men läckte mot slutet, så jag blev helt blöt längs med ryggslutet.
Träningen gick överlag bra, men jag var riktigt tung i kroppen. (kan vara att jag äter voltaren för att lindra inflammationen jag har i min handled)
Efteråt, pasta och tonfisksås.
/Kristina
Onsdag 8/10 sprang vi till Lunsen torpet och tillbaka. Totalt 8km. Gick bra första delen, men därefter blev kroppen ovanligt tung och trög. Jag snubblade över rötter och tappade balansen hela tiden, ingen kontroll över kroppen. (jag kände helt enkelt inte igen kroppen) Jag kände mig som en “heffaklump” !
Funderade på vad anledningen var; inflammationen i kroppen från handleden och Voltaren-användningen är en anledning. Att jag är rispig i halsen är en annan. En tredje anledning är att jag inte var motiverad, efter arbetsdagen.
TIPS: ha mössa och vantar ute nu, det är kallt att springa på kvällen!
/Kristina
Lördag 11/10.
Idag sprang vi ute på Hågadalen och i skogen. Totalt 7km. Det tog inte lång tid innan den tunga känslan försvann och det gick superduperjättebra! Det var riktigt lerigt och fötterna gled runt, som om man stod på ett par skridskor. Jag såg ut som Bambi när jag jogg/sprang på lerstigarna!
De sista 500 metrarna var en raksträcka, så vi beslutade att jobba med min “mentala styrka” (jag tenderar att springa långsammare när det är raksträcka) Vi la ett ganska högt tempo, och höll det hela vägen fram!
TIPS: fixera din blick på ett föremål långt borta i horisonten. Det underlättar löpningen.
Därefter den sista 100 metern sprang jag så fort jag kunde, och studsade fram. Kändes väldigt skönt och befriande!
Stretch!
när hemma, avnjutning av goda färska dadlar och en macka!
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 13/10
Först 1h Power Yoga träning, som jag instruerar. Därefter sista hårda löppasset innan Raid Uppsala, multisporttävlingen. Vi sprang drygt 7km i Hågadalen, med växelvis backträning och intervall. Det började skymma, vilket ledde till svårt sikt. Dock underlättade det för tempot höjdes rejällt!
Jag kände mig stark idag och tog ut stegen mer, särskilt vid raksträckan. Mentalträningen från i lördags tog skruven, för nu gick det mycket lättare.
Nu väntar lättare träning och vila, för att sedan på lördag ta ut oss rejällt och hoppas på en bra placering!
/Kristina
SÖNDAG 19/10
Igår gick multisporttävlingen Raid Uppsala av stapeln, från studenternas IP. Vi var på plats 06.30 för att lokalisera oss, ställa upp saker, fixa kanoten samt registrera och få kartor. 8.30 gick skottet och det var en trevlig liten prelude med 2km löpning upp och nerför olika höjder. Därefter väntade kanoten då vi skulle avverka 14km paddling i Fyrisån, längs med Sävjaån. Därefter cykling efter snitzlad bana, och cykelorientering. Sedan väntade en tung löpning med många kontroller över stor yta. Det var riktigt tungt, efter att man suttit på en cykel länge. Som tur var hade Björn en “bogseringslina” på ryggsäcken, så han drog mig mestadels av vägen. Detta var mycket uppskattat från mitt håll och hjälpte mig i mål! Väl tillbaka till cyklarna var det dags att cykelorientera igen! När tillbaka på Studenternas IP fick vi byta om och göra den sista etappen, löpning med orientering i stadsskogen. Det var den tungaste delen, speciellt eftersom det blev mörkt och kallt ute. Som tur var hade vi pannlampor med oss. Vi kom i mål, efter 11h och 10min. Vi kom på 10 plats av alla mixade lag. Totalt avverkade vi cirka 80km med kanot, cykel och löpning. Många lag bröt och ett flertal blev diskade pga missade kontroller/ tagna i fel ordning.
Jag är mycket nöjd med min prestation och är superglad att vi tog oss i mål! Vi vet till nästa gång att vi måste ha med mer bars och mat samt vatten, eftersom det kan bli oväntade sträckor.
Idag, söndag, har jag ont i kroppen och blåmärken lite här och var efter mina fall med cykeln samt mörkerorienteringen till fots. Men jag lever, och mår bra! Det är en underbar känsla attt kunna avverka så många kilometer med den egna kroppen. Jag hoppas ladda upp ordentligt inför nästa tävling och få en bättre tid och placering.
Vilken härlig sport multisport är!
/Kristina
TISDAG 28/10
Poweryoga träning igår 1h. (jag instruerade) Det känns i ryggen och armarna. Efter yogan väntade intervallsträning. Jag sprang halva, sen kunde jag inte mer. (Hade sura uppstötningar)
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 3/11
Poweryoga träning 1h, härligt tungt och styrkande för kroppen! Därefter 40min löpning i stadsskogen. Pannlampan var min räddning för att undvika att ramla över rötter och stenar. (det var svårt att se även fast det var el-slinga)
/Kristina
FREDAG 7/11
Gymträning på gymmet. Vi tränade överkroppen. Kändes bra att vara tillbaka på gymmet igen, det var ett tag sen sist. (jag har verkligen saknat det!)
Upplägg:
2 övningar direkt efter varandra, därefter 1-2min vila. 3set 12-15reps
t.ex. biceps curl 12ggr, därefter direkt triceps 12ggr. sen VILA!
* biceps (curl med stång)+ triceps (rep)
* bröst (“hulken-maskinen”) + rodd (rodd-maskin)
* axlar (fria vikter-butterflies) + lats-drag (lats-maskin)
* ländryggen (maskin) + mage (sit-ups på balansboll)
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 10/11
Power Yoga träning. Känns bättre för varje gång och jag börjar återfå styrkan i min handled. Axlarna känns starkare och jag orkar göra fler armhävningar på tå!
/Kristina
TORSDAG 13/11
Living Room Dancing, som jag instruerar i. Jag var helt slut redan efter 10 min. De övriga 50 minuterna gick bra men jag gick från passet drypande av svett. (och jag som trodde jag hade bra kondis!)
Hur som helst, kul med annan träning och bra komplement till den vanliga löpningen.
/Kristina
FREDAG 14/11
Klättring 2h. Härligt och befriande! Sist jag klättrade var i somras, och då var det ute. Så det var skönt att vara tillbaka på klätterväggen, inomhus, och jobba på tekniken!
/Kristina
LÖRDAG 15/11
Gymträning, överkropp. Körde hårdare än sist, vilket känns i kroppen idag, söndag. Totalt 1,5h.
Utgick från tidigare inlägg, om styrka, vid överkroppsträning men använde fria vikter vid bröst istället (butterflies)
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 17/11
Power Yoga 1h (körde hårt idag med deltagarna, blev själv slut i armarna av alla armhävningar/plankor)
Sen 1h gymträning, överkropp. Gick inte att köra mitt vanliga program, för det var för mycket folk på gymmet. Det blev därför varje muskelgrupp för sig. Jag känner mig starkare och börjar återfå min styrka jag hade i våras, vilket känns bra! I vinter är planen att stärka upp kroppen rejält för att orka med all belastning vid skidsäsongen (telemark- och hård slalomåkning) samt vid vårens tävlingar!
/Kristina
TORSDAG 20/11
1h dansträning, Living Room Dancing. Gick bra och jag känner att kondisen börjar återta sig vid sådana här pass!
Det är kul att testa lite nya och annorlunda pass, det får igång motivationen! Gör det om orken/motivationen tryter!
/Kristina
LÖRDAG 22/11
1,5h längdskidåkning i nyfallen snö. Helt helt underbart och grymt härligt! En skidåkare paserade mig och sa “visst är det härligt att få använda både armar och ben, äntligen!” Ja, nog är det skönt att få använda hela kroppen. Löpning i all ära, men skidåkning tar på hela kroppen. Jag fick ett sug att åka Vasaloppet igen. Det har trots allt gått 3 år sedan sist! =)
/Kristina
SÖNDAG 23/11
1h längdskidåkning på förmiddagen. Tog i som tusan, och det kändes i både lungor och kropp. Men härligt var det!
TIPS på kall nacke; ha en liten snusnäsduk lindad runt halsen så slipper du det kalla draget, när du åker fort! =)
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 2/12
Vilat en vecka, har mycket på jobb och i skolan. 1h power yoga, som jag instruerar. Gick bra, men jag var svag i armarna.
/Kristina
ONSDAG 3/12
Att gå på gymmet på morgonen är helt underbart! Ingen kö och väntande. Jag hann köra igenom hela överkroppen (se program ovan) på 35min. Det är rekord!! Jag rekommenderar att man ska till gymmet om man vill slippa massor av spegelfixerade folk som “glömmer” att plocka upp efter sig, och hög musik.
Jag börjar äntligen komma igång och kroppen känns stark!
/Kristina
FREDAG 5/11
Klättring 2h. Kändes bra och jag var stark, men mot slutet orkade inte fingrarna hålla emot. Ska börja jobba upp styrka i underarmar och fingrar.
Klättring är ett bra komplement till annan träning eftersom hela kroppen involveras! Roligt är det också!
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 8/12
Power Yoga 1h. Gick riktigt bra, starka armar och stark mage! Jag rekommenderar varmt yoga i denna stressfyllda tid!
/Kristina
SÖNDAG 14/12
35min löpning i skogen. Lerigt och lagom temperatur. Var tung i benen dock.
/Kristina
MÅNDAG 15/12
1,5h gymträning, 30min stairmaster- kondition, 1h power yoga.
På gymmet körde jag fler repetitioner och fler övningar på överkroppen. Mycket armar inför “kommande” längdskidesäsong! =) (jag hoppas iaf)
Stairmaster är en skön maskin för den är mild mot knäna. Dessutom kan jag verkligen fokusera på musiken och köra järnet!
Power Yoga, sista gången innan jul. Körde extra hårt med deltagarna.
/Kristina
TORSDAG 18/12
25min på stairmaster för att få upp flåset, sen 2h klättring. Det var en riktigt bra dag, fingrarna var starka och jag fick verkligen till tekniken med klättringen. Bra dag!
/Kristina
LÖRDAG 20/12
40min på gymmet, överkropp. Känner träningsvärk och svaghet i fingrarna efter klättringen i torsdags. Men annars gick det bra!
/Kristina
TISDAG 23/12
1h gymträning 3×12 på vardera muskel, överkropp. Därefter 30min på stairmaster för kondition. Kändes bra, men jag har nåt i kroppen. Kanske en förskylning som börjar visa sig.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
