My name is David O’Dowd and I’m the Head of Negotiation for SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) here in the beautiful Stockholm.

I’m a triathlete, mainly doing long-distance triathlons like Ironman competitions, and some casual marathons across the world.

For example, I did TCS London Marathon, TCS New York City Marathon, and, of course, Amsterdam.

Today, I’m going to give you some tips on how to successfully complete the TCS Lidingöloppet.

0:30
Tip #1 The course is really hilly and gets really slippery when it’s wet.

0:36
It’s also very tough for your cardio so keep your pace and don’t rush.

0:42
Tip #2 On race day, I use a singlet or a tank top, regular split shorts, heavily cushioned, lightweight carbon-plated shoes, my Garmin Forerunner, my trusted sunglasses, and, of course, my peppiest playlist along the course.

0:59
Tip #3 Don’t get carried away in the start, the actual Lidingöloppet starts at 15k at Fågelöudde and spare some extra energy for Abborrbacken, the famous and dreaded hill at 25k.

I wish everyone running this year good luck.
