Together with my dogs, I am Norway's most successful trail runner, with, among other things, World Championship -silver, European Championship -bronze and eight NM -gold in canicross In total we have taken 29 national and 14 international championship medals in individual exercises – both in rope running and scootering on bare ground, and skiing with a dog in the winter.
But can you actually implement 19 canicross -competitions in one season – completely without injuries ?

Canicross , or running with a dog, puts extreme strain on the calves. We always run at speed because the dog is pulling us forward. The race time is roughly equivalent to a 3000–5000 meter race, but the race pace is more comparable to an 800 meter race. It's almost like running constantly downhill while someone pushes you forward.
For me, it is therefore absolutely crucial to get in a good amount of specific canicross sessions throughout the training season, especially towards the main goal for the 2025 season – World Championship in the USA. To withstand that strain, it is important to both be well prepared in advance and to recover quickly after hard sessions.
Personally, I use QWave LED Wrap and LED Torch on my calves and Achilles tendon almost daily, especially after hard sessions on my legs. After using it for a long time I notice a big difference. I feel less stressed after the sessions and find that I am ready for new ones faster training It also makes me feel more confident about training more specifically and with higher loads. Qwave LED Wrap I mainly use it all over my calves, while Qwave LED Torch I use it more locally on particularly tender spots.
We also use QWave on our dogs in the same way as on ourselves. Dogs are exposed to high stress through both training and competitions, and recovery is at least as important for them. We use the light preventively after hard workouts and on areas which can be extra burdened. For us it has become a natural tool both in preparation and recovery work – for both two- and four-legged friends.
In 2025, we conducted an aggressive competition season with a total of 19 canicross -competitions – completely without injuries Now the focus is on the next big goal: European Championship in Sweden in the fall of 2026.
