I have now started training at the Red Bull DTC, which is a highly professional and scientific training facility in Thalgau in Austria.
I am super psyched to finally be ready and healthy enough to start my treatment at this center because it gives me the feeling of being an athlete in a way… or maybe just normal. All my training until now has been in rehab centers where I have been training with injured people only. Now, for the first time since my accident, I am training like a normal girl. Happy girl.
My fysio, David, and I are sharing the same goal and also belief in how to obtain it. I have never worked with him before, but I believe it is good sometimes to get some different perspective and new enthusiasm when working on the same issues for over 2,5 years.
We have found good methods to work on the stability and strength in my knee and prepare me the best way possible for the white, frozen stuff that is still out there…
Together with my PT Martin, we have realized that I have a long way to go in order to get back in shape! Good thing time is what I have a lot of!!
Martin is the kind of guy you can not trick easily… Although I pretend like I am doing just fine and working out with no hazzle, he checks my blood every 10 minutes and gets the answers by measuring my lactat. I guess you can´t question the facts! Pretty advanced if you ask me…
When you have spent most of the last 2,5 years lying in bed, sitting in a wheelchair and hanging out in rehab centers, your muscles have kind of left on vacation for indefinite time. It is hard to force them back to work, and it is hard to know how much they can work without over doing it. I dont know this body because I have never had it before, so for the first time in my life I will be all about measurements and systematic training. Maybe this is what it had to take to make me grow up…!
No, seriously, I feel super fortunate to be given this opportunity and to be here with my new team. I might never be able to get back to my 100%, but I know that I am in the right place in order to reach as close to these 100% as possible!
