Today Klebo finished fourth in the classic 10 km race at the Norwegian Championships.
- Ideally, I would like to win all the races in which you take part. But I prefer that the result was worse here, and not at the World Cup. There is no guarantee, but another 5-6 weeks of training - and things will go smoothly.
I'm not tired, I feel like I’ve worked out. It will be good to spend a few more quiet days now. I am not at all worried, I feel that I am in control of the situation.
I feel that on some days I am in perfect order, but on others it is harder for me, because the body is loaded.
- So you feel like you expected?
- Yes, which is what I feared. It was risky to come here after such a training period, I also continued to train while here. This must be taken into account when looking at my performances.
I could run two races and skip today's one, but I think I am benefiting from the competition. This is an intense workout, an important part of the process.
I rarely train in blocks. I have consistent training volumes for a long time. In stock there is a day off from the days of the Hand. Since then, there have been few days when I haven't done two workouts.
I trained at the same level as in the most difficult periods in the fall in order to give results at the World Cup.
You can never be 100% sure, but I do what my grandfather and I myself think is right. For the World Cup, this approach may turn out to be completely wrong, but I want to try, if there is such an opportunity, - said Clabeau.
"I'm not worried about Johannes," said Norway's distance coach Eirik Muir Nossum.
