Training. A summer evening

It felt great to come home from work knowing that I had not to start packing my suitcase for the midsummer trip since I did that yesterday. I just had a power smoothie of lingonberries and a pear then I went to visit Bottnes top of the top combat class. That was an awesome hour! After that I went for a small walk to make some midsummer wishes phone calls and to buy something readable for the trip. I was looking for three or four books but could only find one that interested me. Now I just have a few more kilometers to walk until I am back to my casa Vasa. And do you know what? Tonight I can stay up as long as I want since I am going to Asia tomorrow and I have to be tired so I can sleep the whole flights!

Thoughts. The rednosed reality

ImageLow cost – low service. High cost – high service. That is the rule that applies in most cases. I am not surprised when I read about how the LCC Norwegian treats its passengers on the new long haul flights. A lady that is denied food on a flight from Bangkok since she cannot pay with credit card, a teen that is not able to purchase a blanket and has to sit in the cold aircraft all the way to JFK from OSL and aircrafts without inflight entertainment. Then add no flights with dreamliner aircrafts as promissed  but in HiFly’s A340′s and lots and lots of delays since the fleet is routed to tight and too small to cope with disruptions. I said it before and I say it again, the Norwegian long haul story is a a high risk project for the whole Norwegian brand – longhaul and shorthaul. Since the start of Norwegian journalists all over Scandinavia have been endorsing the rednosed company by I think the reality now also has reached the skies of Norwegian and the last couple of months the stories in media have been more reality focused showing the fact that low cost means low service. I am curious how long Norwegian will fly long haul routes. My bet is two years – any takers?

Training. Cheetah pump

I was feeling so tired today when I got home from work that you cannot imagine. My eyes were on auto close and my head was switched off, most likely because I had no lunch walk today. Training was the last thing I thought about so I canceled the spinning class and went home to eat. Then I got some energy back so I changed to a comfy training outfit and ran to SATS St Eriksbron in order to participate in a pump class and my 300 crunches that I do daily as often I remember. So in the end my Tuesday training turned out very well although I looked like a rookie in my cheetah shirt.

I just came back in from a summer BBQ at work. That was a well tasting lunch. I was chatting with my former Lufthansa colleagues that are reps. here and they must think we are crazy having a summer BBQ outside when it is freezing cold and windy like a smaller storm. When I told them that once it was snowing at midsummer they were almost not believing me, but hey – Stockholm is actually just a few hours flight away from the pole circle so I do not ind it to be that strange!

Training. Runday it is

I got some movement today as well. This Monday I did the same thing as many other Mondays this year, went to the Runday training at Karlberg. Today Concore crossfit was there so they held the warm up which consisted of some crossfit inspired exercises in the green grass. That was quite fun but I prefer running at Runday but once in a while it is great with some change. After the crossfit warmup there was a choice of either more crossfit or running intervals. I chooses the later option. The first round I felt like an elephant but the second round it felt much better so when the class was over I went home with a happy feeling. Runday’s are really fun days!

Style. A Svensson day

ImageThis Monday has been just like any other Monday in my Svensson life. I have not been to Rålis and the team Nylén and Valio lunch training session which almost all other training bloggers have been. No, I have spent the day working and drinking coffee. I just finished a little snack and an outfit change since I do not think coming to the Runday crossfit class in a black skirt and white tank works out that well. Tonight it is not just a regular Runday session because it they will have outdoor crossfit. I think that will be lots of fun! So as you hear, I have had a typical Svensson day this far. Work and training with the exception that this is not a Monday start of a “new” lifestyle – it is my usual lifestyle.

Weekend. A little bit of everything

ImageNext week, half of 2013 have passed by. That is crazy. But for some reason I feel that 2013 moves slower than what 2012 and 2011 did although I am kind of doing the same things: work, do training and travel. I just finished my third serving of yoghurt and strawberries for today and also my third training session for today. This week has in terms of training consisted of a for me average volume of training; around 40 kilometers of running, one spinning class, two pump classes, one GRIT class, one ABS class and one hour of floorball. Now I am researching a bit about the destinations where I plan to travel on Thursday when my first summer holiday starts. No one has yet been able to guess where I plan to go and I do not think someone will make the right guess either. Before I will fly away on Thursday after work I plan to do some training next week. On Monday I will go to Runday. Tuesday I will join the trail tripple in Ursvik or a 90 minutes spinningpulse class at SATS but that depends on if I will work from home since I will have some painting guys coming here or not. On Wednesday my plan is to visit Linn‘s combat class and Thursday a lunch run is on the schedule. What I will train and do the remaining days depends on which vacation destination I will go to. Now I won’t go anywhere or do anything more today except visit my shower.

Give me an S-T-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. i am in love with the red and yummi berries. I have a strawberry rule and that is for every 10 km that I run I earn a box of strawberries, so guess what I just bought at the store and had for a late lunch? Strawberries and yoghurt of course! I won’t go out and run for more strawberries now but I will turn the ones I ate into movement energy since I will attend the traditional Sunday pump.
