She has won twice
in a row - in the marathon at the World Cup in Beijing where she was also the
fastest of the Swedish girls. Now she gives you their top tips for autumn and
winter running, including wear a reflective
vest to
keep visible.
Annelie Johansson
went from being exerciser to become national team runners in just four years
and she has a strong position as one of the fastest long-distance runners in
Sweden. Annelie, for example, the only woman who won twice - to keep running
races during the winter is one of the secrets behind the success.
- I think it will
be easier to get back to racing form if it runs during the winter. I recommend
that you run 1-2 times a week to avoid losing running feeling. Do it, it is
really difficult to get out so take a while on the treadmill at the gym, says
Annelie.
- Add also the
more alternative training in the winter, when the body gets the chance to
repair itself from any flaws. The key is to maintain fitness and cross-country
skiing can be a very good option.
Before each winter
season, many wonder how to dress when days and nights are dark and cold.
- I usually have
winter tights and a little warmer running reflective jacket or shirt with
underwear shirt underneath. It is like the foundation, and then I build on how
cold it is. Is it really cold, it becomes both wind panties, knickers and an
extra sweater or vest over the top layer? Maybe I change even out skin layer
against something that resists moisture if such snows a lot, says Annelie.
The collection
Craft Brilliance are tights with napped inside that keeps the heat and uppers
with wind panels that protect against wind and rain. The garments are the extra
reflective prints for good visibility in all directions - and, moreover, the
collection of fluorescent paint to increase visibility. Other items in the

Annelie mean that
there are few things that bring so much energy to get out and move around in
the fresh air, even if you feel tired and tough when it gets dark early.
How To get despite
the cold and darkness - top tips:
1. Spring home
from work - so-called transport running. Then you decided earlier in the day
and it's getting harder to fold down for another.
2. Spring with
nice friends and see it as a social activity. Calm speed is good enough at the
autumn session.
3. Skaffa good and
stylish workout clothes made with reflective fabric that can withstand
all weather conditions and to keep you warm and dry. Glare and headlamp allows
you shown extraordinary good.
4. Se to have something
good waiting when you get home; a good dinner or a nice bath or anything that
you enjoy.
