Why is this important to you personally?
TCS Lidingöloppet is a folk festival a source of true joy for me, I have lived with TCS Lidingöloppet since I was a child when I ran TCS Lilla Lidingöloppet every year, together with my friends from home. I remember that children and aduts trained together at home on Rindö, and that TCS Lidingöloppet would constitute a fun adventure together every autumn.
We met before with preparations - the atmosphere was always exciting. The number bibs would be on and a time schedule had to be followed. After the finish we ate together, surrounded by a wonderful, cheerful atmosphere.
For me, running is an important part of my life, and it was formed there, by training with friends and then by carrying out the challenge, TCS Lidingöloppet itself.
Now, many years later, I have continued to run and I have ran all the races several times. Running constitutes the lion's share of my training and I love it, just like many with me.
How can Life contribute to/support TCS Lidingöloppet’s participants?
Life has workouts, podcasts, courses and lectures. The content keeps you motivated and makes you a stronger runner. There are goal-oriented training programs with running technique, and you can also get support with nutrition in preparation for for exemple TCS Lidingöloppet. Malin Ewerlöf and Maria Akraka are profiles who you will find on Life, and who can help you through the training before TCS Lidingöloppet.
Many runners want a lot at the beginning, what is your advice to them?
I recognize the same feeling, and I have repeatedly gone out too hard, but if you take the advice shared by us and TCS Lidingöloppet, it should go well.
However, some runners still end up injured due to excessive training. Fortunately, Life has many experts who know how to take care of injuries and who can help you to prevent common running-related injuries.
