Running

Runnning have for more than 20 years played and essential part in my life. It has been an important counterpoint to my  many hours of practicing.

For many years worked with visualisation of my concerts during  my running. The  peace in nature  and the purity of letting your legs do the work gives me the ideal conditions to also let the mind go with in my music.

I especially enjoy the very long distances which  demands months of preparation and is Physical and Phycological a huge challenge. It is kind of the same process to be applied preparing for concerts where 100 hours of practice has to be canalised into one performance. The music and the joy learned from  the life being an artist is a great partner to get through hard physical challenges and when it really hurts the craziness and the comic parts in the music is a great partner to give extra force!

I have for the last 10 years been running barefoot or with very minimal footwear that makes me feel even closer to the nature and the natural feeling of running!
