Preparing for next years competition.

Hi Everyone,

I am doing the best to prepare my self for the European Championships here in Malmö 3:rd week of Januari!

It is not a normal training year, with my calf problems so I have to adjust alot of my training but I stay positiv and I will be stronger for sure, it gets easier every week, but I am still not there yet here I want to be. But I am strong and I will make it happend!:)

I am home in Malmö and it is nice that the holydays are here soon... I will be focus on hard training and also University through Chrismas and New Year. I think it will be my last corse for 1 year, I am taking a break from University to focus only on skating, to prepare my self for the Olympics. I like to be in the University while I am training. I really like that, but it can be too much sometimes when you have so many details to handle both on ice and off ice.

Today I learned a new way how to walk and run for trianing and for everyday activity.
Thanks to a physio that works at a store called Fotkultur. It was an interesting way to try barefoot shoes.The main thing was to fokus on the bodys posture and feeling towards the ground. The shoes comes second.

Saturday and Sunday races.... in Montreal!

Hi Everyone,

The World Cup 1-2 is done.

Saturday was really good I actually got to the 1500m B-final! I was 12th overall for this distans on WC 2.

Saturday was so cool. It was fun to skate against the best and to get back in to the racing och the feeling that I have so long been waiting for.

Sunday I was back in repecharge and got a 3rd spot in the race. To get to the next round I had to winn the race. I am not able to do that yet but I will work on that for sure:)

These 2 weeks of World Cup has been amazing and fun. I really like short track on this level and I really missed it.

I am going back home now to train more nd to get ready for next competitions that is comming up!

This is my first World Cup since 2010 that is 2 years ago.

Tomorrow around 1136, I will do my first race in the 1500m.

I will then later around 16.30 skate 1000m.

I dont feel 100% yet were I want to be but I am getting closer and closer to that feeling.
It will take some time for my calfs to adapt to competition and more training...

I am ready as much as I can be right now:) Just have to skate!

Calgary!

Hi Everyone,

I am taking some small steps into racing and training.

Training is going better, my laps are faster. I feel there is alot left but I am on a good road to be able to come back.

I am in Calgary CANADA now, the place I have been alot to the last 9 years. I competed here friday and saturday. That was a wakeup call:) I really needed racing on this level. It was fun and I am happy I got to race on this level before World Cup.

I am here for the World Cup that is this weekend and then I am off to Montreal for the next World Cup.
I am not that fast as I was before and I have no points in the World Cup, because I have not skated World Cup in 2 years to be exact. But I am taking my baby steps back and I need to race on this level, if I want to skate Europeans in Malmö this Januari and also for the Olympics 2014.

Here is a picture from last weekend:

Training and training...

Hi Everyone,


Sorry that I have not been writing anything for the last 2 months!!!
I am in school and training 100% and I am also getting ready for the new season...
In the summer time I took all my effort in training and work.
Between that I tried to eat and sleep as much as I could:)

Right now I have a cold and I am trying to recover from that so I am fit for the season.

The European Championship will be held here in Malmö, Sweden in January and that is one of my goals this year to do well at. It will be also fun to skate in the rink I have been since I was 4 years old. I have always wanted to skate a competition like this in my home town.

As I am just trying to get back from being injured I still feel my body is not there yet where it it should be, but I take my time to heal well and I don't worry so much about that:) I feel good.
So this season will be tuff, fun and interesting to be in:) and to come back. The last real big competition was 2 years ago....

I will inform you all soon, where my season is going to star off.

Still going strong

Hi Everyone,

I am still training hard and training is going in the right direction, but it takes time to get back and to feel like my old self again.. 
My boots hurts less now, when they are new it hurts alot to have them on ice practise. But for every day that goes by, it gets easier:)

I have now a week break to recover from alot of hard training and I will be on ice again after next week.
It is nice to be back like this, I really missed training and seeing results on ice that I have improve, it is fun!

Traning, Work and some tests...

Hi everyone,


I have now been in Norway for work and training. I would like to thank my uncle and aunt for having me at there house for 3 weeks! Super thanks and always a joy to be around both of them! I got back home this week and right back into some strength test and VO2. They both went very well!:) and that is really a relief for me, to know that I can get even stronger than before in the tests and on training!

Now that I am back home, I have both training and work until university starts again in fall and then it is al about training, competitions and study.
Here is a picture below of me doing the VO2 test at the MAS Hospital in Malmö.







It feels good that I can deliver so many good news. Now we just have to wait if I can get use to my new boots, but me and my coaches will work it out as soon as we get on ice again!

A lot of training is planing in front of me and I like it. This is really what I have been waiting for, for 2 years!!! To train normal. With almost no pain!:)

Hi everyone,
I have many good news to tell you all right now!

I got my new boots today, that I have wanted for a long time. This weekend I will try them on for the first time. I know it will take some time to get use to the boots, and so far, I like them.
Training is going very well right now, I feel less of my calf problems that has held me away from competing and training. I am close to the 100% of training, that I have been dreaming of for a very long time.

This easter I was at my family in Norway and had a great time there. While I was there I trained cross country skiing almost every day. I want to thank my family in Norway for the easter time with them. I can finally plan for the skating future again. I have alot of training ahead of me and I know I will have to train up my standard level that I was on before.

Ranya is getting better and better...

Hi everyone,

I have not written for a while now, because I wanted to wait until my injury was almost gone and that I could train alot more.
I am on ice alot more now. Most part of the practise on ice I can do. Not all out.
I still have some small problems with my calfs on training that I cant train my legs as hard as I use to. That day will come for me and I am happy and proud that I am still going strong in my mind about all this drama that has been with both calfs for a very long time.
I have missed 1,5 season of World Cups, European Championships and World Championship. Looking forward to do alot of strength training. I still cant run outdoor but that will come as well with time. Time will tell!

There will be more news along the way!
