Being an athlete and a new mum

All mountain athlete and sky running world champion Emelie Forsberg gave birth to her daughter Maj in March and in our new short film shares how she is finding her legs again as a world class athlete.

True to her background in seasonal farming, gardening and eating, Emelie understands well there is a season for everything, and is taking her time to come back to elite mountain running and skiing form.

“I don’t push my boundaries because I prefer to take small steps and to do it really healthy and slow,” she says. “That might mean my way back will be longer, but that’s who I am. I would regret it so much if I took too big a step and got injured. I want to take things slow.”

Watch below and see how Emelie is balancing the joy of being a new mum with finding her legs again as one of the best mountain athletes on the planet.
