GUIDE TO RUNNING JACKETS
READ MORE
We had a chat with our production coordinator Therese Munthe and our ambassador Mustafa "Musse" Mohamed who just came home from a week long training camp in Portugal where they also had the opportunity to test YMR Track Club's new Spring/Summer Collection.
Tell us about your training schedule for the week.
"There has been a good variety in the training that has been offered, everything from morning jogs on the beach, longer distance sessions up in the mountains to a trail run along the coast or interval sessions on the track. There has been running training and also strength and mobility. There are groups for all levels if you also want all other types of group training sessions.It has been nice to have varied running during the week, right now my focus is on building up my body after a period of many injuries."
What has been most challenging/fun?
"The most challenging session in terms of speed was the track session and for parts of the group it became a challenge in terms of distance when one day we ran a lap up in the mountains and then all the way home from the mountain, so that we ended up with a marathon in total - but it was beautiful! A new element for this year was the coastal pass, where together with the Ockelbomaffian we ran a 15km long trail loop along the Seven hanging valley. There, the surface was a challenge for me as an asphalt runner.
Which garments did you test and how did they feel?
"We had the privilege of testing parts of YMR Track Club's new spring/summer collection during the week. We both love the material in Bäckaryd's linen and T-shirts. The favorite color is ocher, which is such an incredibly nice shade of yellow that we received many compliments on. We also ran in the new short tights and the split shorts that will come later this spring, which are now adapted more to how a woman or a man looks in the body. We are also big fans of the stylish compression socks, which are very comfortable.”
Bäckaryd Singlets and T-shirts are absolutely wonderful to run in, they are in the new polyamide fabrics and are so incredibly soft and nice. They are almost not felt on the body.
The new tight fabric on the girls' tights that also comes in the men's shorts, Bäckaryd Men's 2.1 Shorts, has the perfect compression without feeling too tight. Very well thought out details and pockets on all lower parts, which is very much appreciated, especially when running longer distances"
