I’m excited to announce that I’ve been picked as one of three runners to represent Runner’s World Norway at “Råskinnet” – a 9 kilometer trail-race with lots of mud and cold water guaranteed. I applied to be a part of this some months ago, and I had forgotten all about it when I got an … More Team Runner’s World Råskinnet
Where have I been you might ask? A combination of a busy life as a father of three and some frustration with not performing as well as I had hoped in 2017, resulted in taking some time off from the blog, and from intense training, to discover the joy of running again. So I’m going … More Blog-ressurection
The 20th of May I toed the line of my first ultra this year, the 80km Ecotrail in Oslo. Since I started running 4 years ago both distance and ambitions have increased over the years. This year I am aiming to take it one step further, but I also knew before the race started that … More Race Report: Ecotrail Oslo
After running the Holmestrand Marathon I’ve enjoyed a good week of total rest, and this week I’m back out on the trails with some easy running. The first couples of days I could still feel my legs heavy after the race, but today I had a really good run and felt light and fast again. … More A look ahead…

They’ve been with me through thick and thin, and I know I can trust in them to take me where I want … More Through thick and thin
When I started to run a few years ago, that’s exactly what I did – I just ran, because that was what I loved to do. And I did get both faster and stronger as a result of my training, even though I didn’t have any expertise to bring into my training. I’m sure a … More Working with a coach
Every week my coach Kevin Hall, emails me the plan for the week, and this week as I got the email I saw a new workout. As I am training for ultras, there’s usually two long runs on consecutive days every week, and sometimes in one of the long runs there’s a shorter portion of … More This isn’t high school anymore
I love to run! Running to me is therapy and I have come to a point where I need to get out there and get some runs in, if not I’ll get grumpy and stressed. As I’ve participated in several races the last few years, I now not only run to feel good or reap … More Running with a purpose
So I’ve wrapped up 2015, a great year for me and running, and here I find myself getting ready for new challenges in 2016. There’s a lot to be grateful for looking back at 2015, a year where I challenged myself, did new things, met new people and set new records. As I’ve only been … More Happy New Running-Year
