Next week I will be traveling with the rest of the Norwegian team to Pazardjik in Bulgaria to compete in an international tournament. It is going to be my first tournament this year and I’m eager to get started. Last fight I had was in Spain the 17th of December were I fought the Spanish champion (cant remember her name right now) but I won 5-0.
After having 2 months with regularly cold and then the flu in November and start of December, I have now been training hard since the middle of December. I have tried to gain some muscle and I have been doing strength training for 4-5 days a week. I have also put more carbs in my diet so that I will recover faster after each work out. I feel that I have become much stronger over this period and I am now doing 20-25 hrs every week with boxing, running, strength and conditioning and core training. That’s three sessions every day. I am always tired but I love it. Last year I trained for 15-17 hrs every week so putting on these extra hrs has been hard but I am a machine (!) and I know trying so hard I am going to reach my goal: London 2012.

Approximately five years ago Max started to talk about building a new hall were we could work out. It has been a lot of work and even more paper work and this spring we finally started to build our own gym. The new boxing gym will be located on Jordal in Oslo.

We just published our paper in PNAS. Following the publication our paper has got a lot of attention in the press both nationally and internationally. As some of you reading this blog maybe remember I wrote an article in Dagbladet about this topic 1 1/2 year ago and Im very excited being a part of this interesting study both as an athlete and as a scientist.
