A sports-crazy girl that used to play handball, ice-hockey and soccer until 2012, then changed to running and endurance sports. Today one of the best Swedish runners with a gold medal in 10 km and 100 km, silver from the Swedish Championship for the marathon distance, won the race UltraVasan 45k, participated in the World Athletics Championship and Ultra World Championship.

• World record for treadmill 6h with the distance 76.4K 😊
• 50K in 3h 34min. 2nd fastest Swedish all time and a record of Bislett 50k. 
• Swedish Championship medalist for 10 km, marathon and 100 km. All within 2 years and being my own coach.
• 100K in 7:58:12 on my first attempt.
• Marathon: 2:37:27 (age 24).
• Course record: UltraVasan 45 km, time 3:03:18.
• Ran the entire Östgötaleden, 140 miles. 
• 3 FKT in Sweden 😊

I will focus on long distance 50-100K and partly swimrun. I see life as a smiling adventure and will continue to do adventures, hunt FKT and run in new places and new challenges. I run for the smile and love the active lifestyle out in the nature. I am a trained teacher but work as a personal assistant and it is fantastic. In addition, yes, my own company runs lisasleendecoaching

Hope that paceUP! will give me new inspiration and curiosity. Used Funbeat before and loved it (FunBeat is now merged into paceUP). Love to write and reflect on my training.

I played football from the age of 6-7 until about 5 years ago, then I had a break from almost all kind of training. I finally started to work out again when the weight scale showed a little too many kilograms … Then I found the running, so I’m in my third year as “runner” now. ☺

So far ASICS Stockholm Marathon 2019: 3h 11 min & Göteborgsvarvet 2019: 1h 29 min.  

ASICS Stockholm Marathon under 3h & Lidingöloppet under 2h 15min(the silver medal time). 

It’s a fun and simple app that gamifies the training without being overwhelmed by others because you can compete with any sport you want.
The Statistics are always fun as well.

I tried a mix of sports when I was a kid but, but focused on troop gymnastics and football until high school. Then I went to a high school with focus on dancing, so that was my training during my high school years.

I moved to Lund(Sweden) to study a program to become a Physiotherapist and then started to do more endurance training, for example running races, the full distance of A Swedish Classic(90k cross country skiing, 300k road biking, 3k open water swimming & 30k trail running), The Women’s Classic(1/3 of the Classic-distance) and I ran my first marathon in 2012.

After my first child in 2015 I started with triathlon. And a year after my second child I qualified for the World Championship, Ironman Hawaii 2017. After that I decided to go professional and competed my first season as a professional triathlete in 2018. ☺

• Swedish Champion in Duathlon 2019
• SM silver 2019 & SM bronze 2018 in Triathlon half distance
• 12th at the Swedish Championship for the half marathon-distance (Göteborgsvarvet) and been winning a lot of local running races in Skåne (South Sweden).

• Hopefully the Swedish Championships in long and medium distance triathlon.
• I also wants to compete a little more in swimrun this year.

The unique thing about paceUP! is that you can do groups where all your training can be compared to others, so you do not have to practice or like the same sport to “compete” against each other. It makes it a great app to use for companies, as an updated version of walking competitions. A perfect way to get employees more active and with a more healthy lifestyle.
