I have always been fascinated by endurance sports and my second
biggest interest to do on my spare time is; reading about long
distance running (Marathon) and follow those guys on TV and
media.
I don’t know why that interest has followed me over the years
but I guess the feeling of achieving ultimate stamina and
conditioning, appeals to me in a big way.
In my mind those athletes are the “toughest” ones in the world.
They know how to train hard and sacrifice their own well-being
in order to reach their goal, and they
are
(no one can argue with that), undoubtedly among the most well
conditioned sports-men on this planet. Even though I don’t have
anywhere near (not even remotely close), the lung-capacity, leg
strength or even the mental ability as my idols Anders Szalkai,
Said Regragui, Mustafa Muhammed, Oskar Käck, Alfred Shemweta,
Kjell Erik Ståhl (the oldtimer), Erik Sjöqvist, and others,
I have tried running myself on a hobby-basis and enjoy it very
much!
My results are poor, but the beauty of running in my opinion is
that you compete with yourself and get results slowly. Something
that can cheer you up even on a cloudy day! Down below follows
the few races I have participated in. And I believe (hope) that
more races will follow. If not I will at least keep training
occasionally! The feeling, adrenalin-kick after an hours hard
running can’t be compared with anything else.
It’s a rush!!! |
