With icicles in his beard and a reddish body smoking in the cold, Lars Audun Skjåk Stokka from Lillehammer in Norway jogs on snow-covered roads while smiling and waving to his neighbors. He is out on his daily jogging trip wearing only shorts and shoes. The goal is to harden the body. - It struck me that why should it feel uncomfortable with the cold when it is so often cold here in Norway? I have to do something about it, says Skjåk Stokka.
The cool runner has now been struggling with his running laps for two months and every day he runs a lap that takes twenty minutes.
The temperature that has crept down to minus 25 degrees.
- What felt very cold in the beginning now feels good, he says.
Next week, Lars Audun will further challenge the cold limit.
Then a cooling ice bath awaits.
- It should probably go well, the Norwegian laughs.
