Swissalpine champ Jonas Buud

This is how 2-time (2007, 2008) Swissalpine K78 champion and 100 km European Champion 2009 (in Belgium in June, time 6:41:49, only 66 seconds behind World Cup winner Miyazato) Jonas Buud (35) trains in Sweden.

His last really long training run was 47 km on July 4th, three weeks before K78 in Davos. After that he runs shorter distances, intervals and hill repeats.


Jonas finished Stockholm Marathon 2009 in 2:24:37, 4th place. Check out his relaxed running style in the video below (starts at 1:28). Like many great runners, he makes it look easy. You might think he is not running fast, but that is not the case at all. If I went all out I could perhaps do 1K at his marathon pace!

Good luck in Davos Jonas.
