Health – Johan Känngård http://johankanngard.net Running, coding and mind dumps Thu, 01 Dec 2016 18:23:26 +0000 sv-SE hourly 1 Jaybird Bluebuds X earphones http://johankanngard.net/2013/09/03/jaybir-bluebuds-x/ http://johankanngard.net/2013/09/03/jaybir-bluebuds-x/#comments Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:51:26 +0000 http://johankanngard.net/?p=511 […]]]> I just bought a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X Midnight Black from MrGizmo in Stockholm. I have always had problems with in-ear earphones since my ear canals is a bit bigger and deeper than what most manufacturers think is normal. Reading a few reviews of the Bluebuds made me reconsider trying yet another in-ear ones, this time with ”wireless” (still a wire between ears) Bluetooth earphones.
Wow! Amazing sound with deep bass, clear in all of the sound spectrum and a perfect fit! I haven’t been running with them yet, but they are very tight and have a great grip with the Secure Fit cushions. I will write a few lines after running with them!

A sad day http://johankanngard.net/2013/08/19/a-sad-day/ http://johankanngard.net/2013/08/19/a-sad-day/#comments Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:19:17 +0000 http://johankanngard.net/?p=402 […]]]> I bought my Vibra FiveFingers KSO Black in March 2010 and I have used them ever since on all training and running events. In the winter, I have used a pair of ”normal” shoes with spikes. I have no statistics on the KSO, but my guess is I ran about 1200 kilometers in them. But no more. In the latest running event, Midnattsloppet, they fell apart – two seams and the rubber on one toe. So, I had to throw them away today.
I have to find a replacement pair soon, my KSO Trek isn’t as slick and comfy as my old KSO.

Midnattsloppet 2013 Result http://johankanngard.net/2013/08/18/midnattsloppet-2013-result/ Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:20:24 +0000 http://johankanngard.net/?p=397 […]]]> 1:03:25 was yesterday’s result, I am so happy I got under 1:05 since I haven’t trained that much.
As always, the course was easy the first 3km, with almost all flat or downhill. The scenery and mood at the water by Norra Hammarbyhamnen always make my feet lighter.
The rsteep clinb up to Sofia church was harder than ever, and my legs hurt alot at the end. No need to walk this year though!
The crowd throughout the race was cheering and pushed everybody along, a lot of artists and bands played at the side. Many Bajen fans with flags sang and shouted (the event is partially held by Hammarby IF or Bajen as they are called).


My Vibram FiveFingers KSO was almost falling apart along the course, but luckily they held all the way. Time to buy some new KSO, perhaps in another color than the previous black?!
The climb up to Mosebacke was also hard this year, was passed by a fast walking man although I ”ran”.
The finish straight was feeling longer than usual, but I managed to keep my pace.
After the finish line, I met my two smaller brothers – Henrik and Niklas (first time runner) – that ran on great times, congrats to you both!

Well executed arrangement as always! See you next year!

This year’s Midnattsloppet will be my worst ever http://johankanngard.net/2013/08/17/this-years-midnattsloppet-will-be-my-worst/ http://johankanngard.net/2013/08/17/this-years-midnattsloppet-will-be-my-worst/#comments Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:54:56 +0000 http://johankanngard.net/?p=389 […]]]> Having a little baby has made me lazy. He is now 4 months old, and I have on average run one time a week in that time, and no longer than 7km. Today’s event, Midnattsloppet, is 10km (one Swedish mil), and I will not break any records. I have started in Midnattsloppet several times, in 2011 I managed to run on 57 minutes and 51 seconds.
As always, I run with my FiveFingers KSO! They are almost worn-out, and will be replaced soon by another pair.
I promise to start working out and run more often from now on! :-)

SpringCross avklarat! http://johankanngard.net/2009/05/09/springcross-avklarat/ Sat, 09 May 2009 13:49:25 +0000 http://johankanngard.net/?p=354 […]]]> Vi var tre tappra B3IT:are som ställde upp i årets upplaga av SpringCross. 6km var distansen som gällde, och själv hade jag som mål att spring på under 36 minuter. Det lyckades jag med, den officiella tiden blev 35:23, vilket jag är väldigt nöjd med! För att vara första gången på denna tävling och första gången i området, tyckte jag det gick riktigt bra. Tyvärr fick jag en del mjölksyra i benen efter halva loppet, och fick ta det lugnare någon kilometer. Men det är bara till att träna mer till nästa år!

Cykling i Prag http://johankanngard.net/2009/05/07/cykling-i-prag/ http://johankanngard.net/2009/05/07/cykling-i-prag/#comments Thu, 07 May 2009 16:08:44 +0000 http://johankanngard.net/?p=348 För några veckor sedan var jag med företaget till Prag och tog en cykeltur. Här kan ni se turen på Google Maps! Tyvärr glömde jag slå på GPS:en efter några pauser, därav ”genvägarna”. GPX-filen finner du här! Foton finns på Flickr!
