In mid-August, the news came that Frida Karlsson was stopped from competing and that she was forced to change her training plan.
She has previously had problems with a worn body, but according to herself, there was no major danger this time.
- I think it has become a bit too dramatic.
I felt that I was getting some warning signs that I have a worn body.
I thought I would pull the handbrake in time this time.
I took time to recover and got the answer that I was back on the track pretty quickly, says Frida Karlsson.
Even if it feels good right now, it is important to be attentive for some time to come.
- We have a standardized control session that I drive regularly at home.
But it is clear that it is a period ahead where there is a bit of "NOTE" in terms of propensity to injure.
You have to think again about being a little smart
Bets on the Tour de Ski
She herself thinks that the uproar surrounding the message was somewhat exaggerated.
- It was a bit misplaced that it was roller ski competitions and that I had to give them up and go from the original plan.
If you talk about real overtraining, you can count on being away for six months.
Now I was on the track after a week and a half.
But before the slightly tougher autumn, 22-year-old Karlsson had a good summer.
- I have a very good summer behind me where I have seen development on several levels.
I feel that I have a good foundation to work with.
She also has plans to run the Tour de Ski, which will be decided between December 28 and January 4.
- Yes, it is part of my plan so I want to drive.
