Interview Lidingöloppet@Hemma
Just like last year, TCS Lidingöloppet 2021 offers the opportunity to run the race from home through Lidingöloppet@Hemma! One of last year’s participants in the virtual race was Tommy Karlsson, who through his running club HEJAHEJA Cheering Community (@hejaheja.cc) is an expert at promoting the joy of running. Here he shares his best advice on how to increase the energy in the digital race:
Find the motivation in yourself For me, TCS Lidingöloppet race is very much about joy! Regardless of the weather and other external factors on the race day, this joy is an energy boost that I can live on for a long time. The energy during TCS Lidingöloppet comes from fellow competitors and from the fantastic audience, but also from myself.
Recreate iconic places along the course The energy increases during the race when you pass the many iconic places along the course. Since almost no spectators and other participants are present during Lidingöloppet@Hemma, you can thus recreate some of the special places that characterize the traditional racecourse on Lidingö.
Create a finish line with water and an energy station Build a finish line and celebrate your efforts after the race with water, energy drinks and treats (before Lidingöloppet@Hemma, Tommy had set up a garland as a finish line and prepared water bottles with inspiring messages).
Celebrate with loved ones when you have reached the finish line Let family and friends cheer along the track and share the joy with them after you have reached the finish line!
Welcome to TCS Lidingöloppet@Hemma 2021 - a running party over the entire world between the 1st and the 31st of October 2021! Do like Tommy and share your experience of the race and inspire other participants though social media, either via the hashtag #Lidingöloppet or through #Lidingöloppet2021!
