Do you perhaps recognize yourself in some of the issues below?

SOME ADVICE ON THE ROAD  

To get fitter, you first need to decide that this is something you really want to do. Cutting corners has little effect and you can often lose motivation if you try too hard in the beginning. Therefore, try to stick to your training plan and exercise regularly. After a while, you'll find it easier to set aside time and complete the sessions. 

You get a lot done in 30-40 minutes! If you get bored with the same activity every time, you can vary jogging and brisk walking with other activities, such as cycling, walking, swimming, etc. Try to incorporate some physical activity into your daily life. 

Make the training as pleasurable as possible ; pleasant company on the trip can be inspiring and motivating. 

Imagine that you are going to "hurry up slowly". The intensity doesn't have to be too high - it's more important that you enjoy what you're doing and stay motivated. 

Set a goal that motivates you. BMW Oslo Marathon has distances to suit everyone, and you'll definitely feel a sense of achievement when you cross the finish line. Completing a race together with thousands of others is a great experience, and it's extra nice when you reach the goal you've been training for!

Even if you have the best of intentions and have set aside time for training, at times things are bound to come up that make it difficult to follow the program. Don't let short interruptions ruin what you've started. It's the regular and consistent training that counts in the end. 

Whether you choose the marathon or the 10 km, a week or two with little training shouldn't prevent you from lining up at the start line of the BMW Oslo Marathon in Oslo.

A workout is 25 percent sweat and 75 percent willpower. Put another way: There is one part physical activity and three parts self-discipline. And then it's 100 percent fun!

A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, does good for the soul and gives you better self-confidence. 

A workout is a personal victory. It is the symbol of a winner, and of mastery.

A workout is a sensible use of time and an investment in yourself. It makes you better equipped to face challenges in life, both physically and mentally. 

A workout is the key to new opportunities and success. We all have unknown resources in us. By getting in shape you can release these resources. 

When you have completed a good workout, you not only feel better - you like yourself better too, and also have extra energy to give to others around you!

Our dear Jack Waitz has prepared training programs for different levels based on Grete Waitz's and own experiences and knowledge about training. It is important that you choose the program that suits the shape you are in and that you can adapt to your daily life. 

Quick walking or leisurely jogging are great activities, because they can be adapted to the individual's shape and fit into a busy everyday life. To achieve the goals you have set, you must take the training seriously. With a good plan, you are already well on your way. But be prepared that it takes a positive attitude and a little willpower to get started.
