- It took seven hours.

I filled my fluid belt with a lot of energy and sweets, stopped after five hours but was still quite alert, she says in the Norwegian podcast Skisporet according to Sportbladet.

- The problem was never that I got tired and thought it was hard, but that I got so many abrasions from standing in boots for a long time.

When skating on legs, you angle your feet at a greater angle to secure the skis.

The long-distance star injured his shoulder in a fall at a World Cup competition in Ulricehamn in February last year and has still not made a comeback after the injury.

Ran three hours the next day

But the rehabilitation and training is progressing and earlier this year she said that the plan is to try to be so close to the limit of what the shoulder can withstand, without going over it.

The ten-mile pass was a step on the way to coming back stronger than before.

And the fact is that Svahn was not completely finished after the extreme pass.

- No, I was still up and pounding the next day and managed three hours of running.

So I was not too down, she says in the podcast.
