Notes from the trail
Let the children choose the exercises
«Children sit still more than they used to. In our house, training has become something we do together, and the children decide half the session. Adresseavisen wrote about it in Løpeklubben.»
On carb loading
«Carb loading isn't necessarily just a huge pasta dinner the night before.»
On energy and performance
«Eating too little doesn't make you a tougher runner. It just leaves you less equipped to handle the training.»
