Training When the Knees Won’t Bend
Malmö, 04:30 – first cup of coffee, quiet flat.
Every evening after a long day of hauling on the Greenland ice-cap …
When the slide becomes obvious
Greenland showed me the scoreboard …
What’s changed, and what I do about it
Recovery takes longer …
What hasn’t changed
A steadier sort of patience …
Training as a man in his sixties
My weeks now run on a nine-day loop …
“Aging is not for the faint of heart …”
I still plan big journeys …
— Mikael
