SvenskaMy friend, who had also registered for the Tjejmilen 2025, had unfortunately gotten an injury when she was about to increase her training. Injuries happen, and that is absolutely not fun. In that case, it is better to refrain from participating. Usually, it takes time to heal.
The day before the race, I resumed a habit from previously. I visited a spa and received a facial treatment. It is important to take care of yourself and at the same time find I found some peace before the race. In addition, the past week I had trained extra and I felt that my legs needed rest.
As usual, I prepared my training clothes the night before so that I was all set for the start day. The weather was good. No rain. Once at the start, I realized that I had forgotten the wonderful feeling when you wait for your turn to jogging and then have sights set on the finish line. The tingling and eager feeling was there, and I had the opportunity to take some selfies.
A few weeks before, I had found a good way to train intervals that is very hard but so effective. I already know core and strength training. Today I have a little soreness, but above all, I have tools to continue in the same spirit in September. I feel like I have taken a little step, but it is still a long way from the fitness I had in 2020.
Yesterday, there were also music along the course. Music and cheers gave more energy. Music ensembles along the way lightened the mood. Something like this below: It ain´t over 🎶 🎶
