– The total load has been too great – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

– First of all, I’m looking forward to running again. It’s been a long-awaited miss while I’ve been out. It is a step on the road to Trondheim. It’s mainly the five thousand that I’ve trained for, everything else will be a bonus, says Therese Johaug to news. She has just unpacked from the car and is going to a training session with another skiing queen: Marit Bjørgen. But before the training session, Johaug says that she has had to pull on the handbrake. – I ended up in the race that you shouldn’t end up in. It was a bit too tough. I tried to train two sessions before I picked up Kristin (daughter) from kindergarten, so the recovery time has become a little too short. The advantage is that you know your body quite well. I pulled the handbrake with a cry of distress. – When did you have to apply the emergency brake? – It was around the time they traveled to Idre, 14 days before that. The shape has improved considerably now. It’s about profit. It does not depend on the physical part, but that the cylinder head must also be included. The Idre stay was just over two weeks ago. – How does it feel to have to pull on the emergency brake? asks Dagbladet. – It feels perfectly fine, I’ll be honest, says Johaug and laughs. At the weekend, she and Cross Country Norway open the season at Beitostølen, the national opening before the World Cup starts in Ruka next weekend. Therese Johaug is back in the cross-country circus again, where the WC in Trondheim is the big goal. – You trust the plan you have now that you drop the altitude and have been less on snow? asks news. – Yes, I do. I have the glasses in time and I have the glasses for March 9 (WC). The total load would have been too great if I had chosen the height. I know in a way that it has been a demanding time in the last month. The total load has been too great – over time, says Johaug. – Do you mean work, daycare and home? – When I said yes to the national team place in August, you start training. Then you have ended up in the lane you shouldn’t have ended up in. Please note that Therese Johaug was a cross-country expert for news for the last two seasons. The employment relationship ended in early spring 2024 when she made a comeback as a performer. Published 20.11.2024, at 09.41 Updated 20.11.2024, at 09.58
