Chapters

Running has been a huge passion for me for the past 10 years. It's not just one type of running that excites me. I love it all. Long adventures with friends in the mountains, being connected to nature. Low heart rate runs, so at a mellow intensity. Pushing yourself harder at a high intensity. Photoshoots with past projects and actually still finding a way to get running miles in. Exploring with my family. Long solo adventure runs. And then there are also the races. There's that excitement and the race nerves and overcoming obstacles while racing. Over the years, I've experimented a lot, and I've literally made every single mistake in the book, both in training and in racing. I've also interviewed hundreds of different coaches and athletes, such as Dr. Phil Maffetone, Wim Hof, the Iceman, Matt Fitzgerald from 80/20 Running, and many, many more. I've learned so much along the way.
And we build up our fat burning. That increased energy gives us the ability to run faster at the same heart rate.
2 years ago, I launched an online running coaching program. This has evolved over time, and the Personal Best program now has more than 500 members in more than 40 countries. Our program is all focused on how to reach your personal best in training, racing, and in life. It's been incredibly rewarding to hear from our members about the transformations that they experience when they learn to train smarter without wrecking themselves. Small, consistent steps over long enough time can lead to massive progress. To learn more, check out pbprogram.com.
