There has been little updates here from me (Håvard). The reason is a lot of school, traveling to competitions, gatherings and of course many training camps. But having said that, I have made great progress in recent months with my new trainer Siw Karlström and her other athletes. This improvement was confirmed on 4 May at the World Cup in China. I qualified for the European Championships in Zurich, and went 1 min and 24 sec faster than the international A standard with the time 1:25:06. The time was a personal best by well over 3 minutes. A month later I walked 20 km in NM, (the norwegian championship), and at the time 1:26:11, which also is under A standard for EM. Conclusion: I am in shape.
At the moment I'm on a training camp in Mäja, located in northern Sweden. It has been 10 days and we have reached the point where everybody are tired and exhausted. The training we are doing up here is hard. We run fast uphill intervals in a run of about 1.5 km, and it has a slope of approx. 240 meters. This training, I know will give results, even tho its hard to flinch the sessions.
The next competition will be SM (the swedish championship) 5 to 6 July. Here me (Håvard), Ato, Persy and Anders (my Swedish treningskompisier) will participate in 10000 meters track and 20 km on road. This will bee a great opportunity to test my shape before the European Championships in Zurich, that are approaching really fast!
I'm ready!
