Andreas Almgren Is in His First Marathon Training Period Ever, Which Means a Lot of Running That Sometimes Clashes With Other Commitments

"I'm going to run 20 kilometers and try to watch the derby too, he says about what awaits right after the Finnkampen meet. In November, Almgren will make his marathon debut in New York. The 31-year-old is therefore in an intensive training period.

Ahead of Sunday's 10,000-meter race at the Finnkampen, Almgren has run almost 200 kilometers this week alone. After the competition, running is again on the agenda, but so is watching football. "The plan is that I'll go out on a 20-kilometer run.

Then there's also a Stockholm derby that I'd like to follow as much as possible, Almgren tells SVT Sport. AIK face Hammarby on Sunday afternoon. Almgren is an AIK supporter and also played for the club in his youth years.
