She is Norway’s best female doctor’s long -distance runners, and many kilometers are laid down every single day. Out on Oslo’s road or in the fields, she is rarely alone, and she notices. – Now I jump a lot around the Maridalsvannet, because it is straight out of my door. So it is often I hear that I get an outlet behind me, who is trying to hang for a while, says Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal. Therese Johaug and many of Norway’s cross -country stars talked this winter about overwhelming exercisers who would challenge them in ski training. Grøvdal first and foremost knows it is innocent fun, and think it is nice if she can motivate others. – I do not want to say that it is very troublesome. On skiing, it may be more troublesome, because then you may be pulling on top of the skis and stuff, but it’s a bit like that in the intimate zone when you suddenly hear that someone is sprinting behind to reach you again, and then they lie close to your back, so you have to give them a look. – Termination to set up the pace – but then I realize that it is fun to test myself against me, if they know that I do running. So it’s a little problem, but it’s tempting to set up the pace a bit, and get them away, says Grøvdal and laughs. 34-year-old especially thinks one episode well. – I was on a very quiet jog in the area here. And then it came past me. This was not a super -tag person, and he knew it himself. But he, one in his 40s, took in and ran, came on my side. And then he looked at me and recognized me. And then he said to me, “Now I feel incredibly stupid when I see who you are”. – He couldn’t jump from me, it was almost the same pace. But then he said he was in the middle of the Strava segment, so he had to run past me. But he was so embarrassed because he ran past me. So it was a little fun. Athletics expert and supermotionist Kristian Ulriksen, who for many years runs the news podcast “In the long run” with Jann Post, cannot think of having experienced that random exercisers have tried to hang on to him in training.

Two alternatives usually there is something Grøvdal experiences when she is on what for her is quiet long trips. Then she should also keep it quiet and she will therefore not jump faster than the plan. She emphasizes that meeting with exercisers does not bother her, and that people who are greeted are something she thinks is very nice. – But you jump from them if you want? – If I get very annoyed, there are two alternatives. Either I stop, take a break and let as I tie the shoe, to let them jump. But then we have to make sure it is far enough that I do not take them again. Or I have to just “gentle” and jump so that I get a hatch, and then take the pace down again afterwards. – Have you been annoyed? – Yes, it has happened that I just increase the speed and jump from those with one time I noticed that they are trying to hang on. And then I can jump in my pace again. It’s a bit fun to do too, laughs Grøvdal. – It’s nice that people do it. It may be the price to pay to be a celebrity and famous runner. Most of the exercisers who jump in Norway, know how Karoline is, says Ulriksen and continued: – It’s good to also think that’s part of the charm. In a way, it is a recognition, where people think “the deaf, it is she who won the European Championship gold in the half marathon. I have to try to run with her. ” Gold winner: Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal with the European Championship gold at half marathon from Rome 2024. – It has been some overweight exercisers who have come a little close, and it can irritate. But now I am just happy to be stopped on a training trip, because then I get my breath again and get a little quarreled, says news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal, and grins. news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal.

And training enthusiasts are not a whole new thing. – It’s been a long time now, but we ran on a track inside Leangen ice hall. There it could accumulate with exercisers, especially when it was bad weather. Then it was almost dangerous when we ran so fast, so we had to bring a doorman, Rodal recalls.
