Description
I started running when I was 12 years old, and have been in love with the sport ever since. I was fortunate enough to receive a full scholarship to come to the US to compete on the Track and Field and Cross Country team for Northern Arizona University (NAU). During my time at NAU I received a bachelor degree in Public Health and minor degrees in Fitness and Wellness Coaching and Biology. I continued my education in Sweden and received a Masters Degree in Sport Science with emphasize on physiology and performance. Besides coaching I am also working in the research field looking at training and optimization. I have also worked as a personal trainer and fitness coach helping clients with their training and nutrition habits in order to live a healthy lifestyle. I am from and now situated in Sweden, although I still travel to Flagstaff, AZ multiple times a year for training camps. In the past I have been coached by the legendary Dr. Joe Vigil, who has coached multiple Olympians including Deena Kastor. I have also been fortunate enough to work with Dr. Jack Daniels, and I continue to have the privilege of his guidance, and I fully understand their respective training philosophies. Not only do I have experience in the middle distances but also within in longer races such as the half and full marathon. This originates from being heavily involved in Olympian Diego Estrada’s training over the past five years, especially in preparing for the Olympic marathon trials. He has had great success in the half marathon where he ran the 3rd fastest time ever in the US with 60:51 and American Record in the 25km with a time of 1:13:09. I have great knowledge in injury-prevention, rehabilitation and strength training, as well as nutrition and mental skill advice from my own experience from being an elite runner and from my educational standpoint. I truly understand the running lifestyle, and the importance of finding the time and flexibility while joggling many other things in between. I will work with you to find a schedule that fits your lifestyle, goals and needs. Let’s have some fun!

It started with the fixed idea to run the first Marathon before my 60st. birthday, targeting few seconds below 4 hours. I started running on a regular basis at the age of 57, coming from a very low ba...
