– It has cost more than I thought it would when we set out on this, says Liva Ingebrigtsen to news. She talks about life through ups and downs with Henrik Ingebrigtsen, whom she married six years ago. The eternal struggle to get the family cabal to go up at the same time as aiming for international championships in athletics. This spring the load was too great. – The body thinks it was a bit too much, a bit earlier than I thought, says Liva Ingebrigtsen in the third episode of the series “Born to Run”, which is about the three running brothers Ingebrigtsen and their families. Recognized symptoms Henrik Ingebrigtsen went to Flagstaff in the USA for what was supposed to be an eight-week training camp, somewhat longer than usual. He went home several weeks early. At the same time, Liva, who is a popular influencer, had suddenly stopped updating her more than 180,000 Snapchat subscribers on a weekly basis. The followers wondered what became of her. She stated after a little while on Instagram that she needed a break from everything. Now more details are revealed. When she picked up her husband at the airport, she was completely exhausted. She shook. – It has been like this before, once. I had pregnancy depression with panic attacks. I noticed that it was very similar to last time. I would not like to end up there. Then I was on sick leave for a year. She thinks she was able to stop it before it went too far this time. – That is the price for top sport. I didn’t imagine it would be so expensive, she says with tears in her eyes in the series. See the incident from the series “Born to Run”: From the series “Born to Run”. Picture with license from Amazon Prime. – It was pretty damned Liva Ingebrigtsen doesn’t want to go into the details when news asks her about the episode during the Amazon press launch of the Prime series, but describe it as crazy. It is she who has been responsible for the couple’s two daughters when the husband travels to Flagstaff, Sierra Nevada and St. Moritz on longer training stays. There have been tough periods along the way in the past, but this time Henrik Ingebrigtsen realized that there was only one thing to do. – It was pretty damn good. Life was quite down for the count, quite simply. I was tired after a tough training camp, a long journey. And should try to do my training and take the kids and the house and the dogs and everything. The eldest of the three running brothers refers to it as a tough period. He knows how dependent he is on help if he is to bet on top sport. – In a way, that choice was quite easy, but still tough to make. Because it goes against what I’m actually trying to do, but it became clear that it’s not just just being at home either, even if it’s tough to be at a training camp. DIFFICULT BALANCE: Liva and Henrik Ingebrigtsen are trying to figure out how they are going to get the day going. Photo: Mikael Kaspersen Kinnestad / news Shares experiences Liva Ingebrigtsen is honest about the fact that life has come at a cost. They have a big house, two daughters who have to be looked after and a dog. She is glad she didn’t know what it meant to be a top sportswoman before it happened, but finds support in her sisters-in-law. – No such manual came with it. We might be able to write it, smiles Liva, and refers to Astrid Mangen Ingebrigtsen and Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen, who are married to Filip and Jakob, respectively. She shares her experiences with them when it comes to the challenges of being together with an Ingebrigtsen who is traveling almost half the year.

Photo: Thomas Fure / NTB Liva Ingebrigtsen is a trained teacher and says that they have considered taking their daughters out of school in order to be more together when they are abroad, but want them to be able to participate in the social activities that come with a normal schooling . Struggle with the contradictions It makes certain periods tougher than others. – We have a common goal of having a nice, safe family. Where the kids come back again and want to live with us as they get older. In any case, it is my goal that we have a home that feels inviting, and that the children have had a good time with us and will continue to be with us. OPENHJARTA: Liva Ingebrigtsen pulled the emergency brake. Photo: Mikael Kaspersen Kinnestad / news – How will the solitaire go up? – I think it will be a bit like that that we have to try our best, see what happens. Because again, there is no user guide here. So we almost just have to find a balance that works, replies Liva, who says they will try to get a little more predictability and structure in the everyday. – How does it work now? – The problem with doing top sports and betting less is, in a way, that then there is nothing. Then we gave up, in a way. So that’s what makes some things quite rigid. And … yes, difficult to change so much, explains Henrik. Liva describes her husband as funny, energetic and full of inventions, and thrives having him at home around the kids. – Bad conscience for everything Henrik nevertheless admits that he is bothered a lot by how the roles of husband and father collide with the one who runs hard. – I wake up with a bad conscience if I have woken up at night, as a top athlete. When I’m at training camp, I have a bad conscience for not contributing at home. When I train a little too late, or go to bed too late, or… I can’t be with the kids at gymnastics or piano or something… – I have a bad conscience for basically everything I do. Same as it is. Because it is not possible to do everything 100 percent. So it’s actually … yes, a problem, says the 33-year-old. He illustrates this by saying that if something does not make him a better runner, it will automatically be a downgrading of the investment. Then he is not a top athlete according to his own book. – That is the problem. That there is always something you want to do, which is crazy in one way or another. – So you have to live life on compromise anyway? – Yes, that’s actually what you do. There is, in a way, no right way to do it. There is only a slightly less wrong way to do it, which is actually a bit frustrating, says Ingebrigtsen.
