Summary Philosophy Planning Mental Physical Running MarathonA Scandinavian Holistic e-Fitness ConceptPresented by Ingrid KristiansenWhat are we?
The basic philosophy is like the prospectus in a business. It defines the basic platform and values for the activity. To achieve something in life one needs the framework and guide of planning and goal setting. We will teach you how to work with your planning and how to be focused on your goals and achievements. It is not enough to wish for something in life and then expect that things will happen just by themselves. We will teach you how to really reach your goals through mental power or mental training: the key word here is the power of your thoughts. The Mental chapter covers methods to reach both small as well as major goals. We also teach you how to take control of difficult situations, and how you can deal with mental blocks or personal complexes. In the Physical
chapter we will teach you the simple, basic theory of physical activity or
training.
Our experience is based on Ingrid Kristiansen's career as a World Class Olympian athlete in cross country skiing and long distance running. Our core message is one of health, endurance and the power of our thoughts combined with a normal family life plus good doses of spirit, enjoyment and fun. How should I use these pages?You can go directly to the Table of content, where you should get a broad overview of all topics covered. If you have a question or key word, go to the Search page in order to find what you are looking for. Many of the topics are such that a printout of the pages can be useful if you want to go into them more deeply in order to more fully learn and understand the material. Each main topic or chapter can be read separately from the others, but if you start with the Summary, and continue with the Philosophy, Planning, Mental, Physical, Running and the Marathon chapters in that order, we hope there will be a more complete buildup of logic and basic understanding. ObjectivesWe hope to impart to you the ability to have positive experiences in the spheres of healthy lifestyle, physical and mental exercise, and elite sport. If we are able to stimulate you to incorporate physical and mental activities as a part of your lifestyle, then it is our hope that you will continue doing so on a long-term basis. Most of the trend leaders today are focused on success and failure with an emphasis on cool, short term fashion and style, but with little or no content. Who are we?Ingrid and Arve Kristiansen are responsible for these pages. The last 10 years we have been working with EBAS Consulting AS, a consulting company owned and operated by us.
No other runner in history, male or female has concurrently held the World records on:
She has represented Norway in 3 Olympic Championships, both in the winter and summer games. Her best Olympic position is her 4th place finish in the Los Angeles Olympic marathon. In the 10,000m Olympic final in the Seoul Olympics she was clearly the favorite to win the distance but, during the final, her achilles tendon broke, so she had to drop out of the race. Her personal best had been almost 1 minute better than the second best in that final. Ingrid is a member of the IAAF Cross Country and Road Running Committee, and she is the Vice President of the Norwegian Runner's Association. Ingrid has won most of the major marathons around in the world:
Ingrid has always combined her career as an athlete with studies, work and a normal family life with children. She has 3 children: Sondre 14 years, Marte 17 and Gaute 24 years old. This way of life is part of the holistic approach or philosophy because a normal family life for the elite competitor is the most compatible lifestyle for personal diversity and growth. Ingrid's personal bests:
Arve has a B.Sc. in business management (BI), a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (NTNU, siv.ing) and he has a MBA degree from Regis University, Denver, USA. None of us have any formal education in sport and fitness, but we think we have a lot of practical experience and analytical knowledge in these fields. With 3 kids, we have the daily challenge of being good role models for our kids on the most fundamental level: what we say has to be what we do. This is not always easy, but if you don't practice your words as parents your words will have absolutely no meaning. We have put a lot of effort into the communication process in these pages. We have been conscious about not creating any guilt feeling among the readers, and we have also tried to be careful about making too many black and white statements and easy conclusions; these topics will never have one exact and clear answer. We have too much respect for the human mind and body to make too easy conclusions. As covered in the Mental chapter, a positive message will create more positive feelings and emotions in the readers. If we are successful with this, it is our hope that we can help people achieve better performances and better health. Good health is the most fundamental factor in life; without good health all other things in life have little or no value or meaning.
