Johnny Hällneby a.k.a. Son of Odin

Co-founder, ultrarunner, coach

When running at the NJ Trail Series’ event 3 Days at the Fair in the US in May 2018, Johnny set a new Swedish National Record for 6-days running when he ran 547 miles (880 km). After that, the Americans named him Son of Odin, due to his long red beard and his unyielding perseverance and stamina. And when everyone else took a break hiding in their tents to escape the thunderstorm, the Swedish Viking kept up his strong and never-ending stride around the course, completing lap after lap. 

Although multi-day racing is his line of expertise, Johnny has also run several 24-hour races and trail races, meditates daily and is a strong believer of the “fat adaptation diet”. He likes to think of himself as a purely plant-based athlete, and considering most of his meals, this is true. But to make his Bulletproof Coffee, he needs butter (made from dairy!).

Together with his partner Ellen, he founded the Swedish ultrarunning podcast and company Pace on Earth.
