10:00 am – Gearing up
I start the day by dropping by Simple Café for an espresso with a little collagen powder. It’s the perfect way to give my body a boost before a physical adventure!
10:30 am – Deluxe swimming
Alidebergssbadet in Borås is the heart of my training and I’ve been swimming here since 1985. The outdoor pool is my favourite place to swim and I am 100% certain that no one has swum more laps here than I have. Borås Simarena is right next door, and I would say it’s the best example of how to build an inexpensive and functional swimming arena. I feel incredibly lucky to live here. I swim for an hour as usual, which is usually about 4,000 metres. The weather is great so my wife Elin comes down with our two sons and I take the chance to play with them in the kids’ pool after my workout.
