Hi Victoria, can you introduce yourself briefly? 

Of course! As a brief, (7 days) active related introduction of myself, I would highlight that I'm a huge active lifestyle lover; sports in many shapes has been a part of my life always - and it always will, for sure.

Through the past 8 years, running has worked its way into my life and I don’t think it will ever leave again. I love running in all its shapes and forms; fast or slow, short or far, on road, on trail, on track.  

Do you have a motto you live by? 

I have a whole collection of mottos and idioms and I live by many of them - varying through different periods of my life. Some of the ones I go by, can even sometimes be homemade (not always by me - I can't take credit for that). At the moment, I think the one I mostly turn to is "the grass is greener where you water it". It makes me want to stand by my decisions, focus on the few things that really matter and make them grow - not linger on what I don’t have and what could have been. 

I use these a lot, so I’m gonna give you another one, which is a classic and which I always like to remind myself of; "everything in moderation". It really can be applied to any aspect of life, including running. Uhhh and my mom always taught me the word "Pyt" as a child, not wanting me to stagnate in sadness about stuff I cannot change. I love that one too. I could go on and on I guess.

What does a typical day look like in your life?

Well since I work in shifts at the hospital I don’t really have a typical day. But instead, I can try to describe a good Victoria day in my everyday life. It would definitely start early because I love mornings and I have sooo much energy during this time of the day. I love a good cup of coffee and when I’m lucky I have company along with it. Afterwards, I spend some hours at work, where lunch is a biggie.. can’t lie, I often spend small breaks here and there during work, to reach out to friends to see who wants to go for a run in the afternoon. Sometimes we are many, sometimes just a few and often one on one. Sometimes I go alone as well. After that it’s free time, which can be all from cooking, relaxing, hanging out with friends etc. 

What’s your big goal for this year? 

I started the year with big expectations for the season. I planned and trained for a lot of small competitions on the track during the summer and then end the season at the Copenhagen half marathon, hopefully breaking 1:20. But well… that was until my weak-ass plantar fascia decided to succumb.

We know you are injured (buuuuuh) how do you cope with that as an athlete? 

Yes it sucks! And I let myself be sad about it, however not to dwell too much upon it. Of course I do a lot of exercises to get my foot back on track but I also try to benefit from the great potential in all the spare time I now have. I try and keep active as much as my foot allows and I have been lucky that I’m injured during the summer because there are soon many great outdoor activities!

Did it change your perspective on sport? 

I won’t say that being injured changed my perspective. However, it definitely wakes up my more soft sides and reminds me to not take running for granted and appreciate what you are given in life. 

Now I’m able to run a few kilometers three times a week and even though I’m not even near where I wanna be, I’m so very grateful. 

Furthermore, this period helps me relate to the non-runners, who doesn’t understand why I want to put myself through this over and over; yikes my lungs hurt.
