Favorite Tough Training Session

I love hill intervals on the bike, you can always push a little harder.

What Inspires Per

To reach my limit and to know that I haven’t reached my limit yet.

Per’s Hero

I don’t really have on hero. Everybody is a hero for me who is working hard and fair to fulfil their dream.
