Silje faints during a blood test, then must convince nurses to try again.

The episode opens with Silje describing a recent blood test where she fainted despite prior confidence, detailing the physical and emotional rollercoaster. She explains her blood phobia and how nurses helped her succeed on a second attempt. Silje connects this to exposure therapy, sharing a story from February where a dog bite in India led to rabies vaccines, curing her syringe phobia through chaotic hospital conditions. Pia and Silje transition to the main topic: summer training guidance. Pia outlines two scenarios—training minimally for maintenance or maximizing vacation time—and advises listeners to set realistic plans, avoid calorie-focused workouts, and prioritize rest. Silje shares her running plan for an August race, including long trips up to 35 kilometers, while Pia prefers strength and sprint exercises. They discuss using summer for process goals like pistol squats or handstands. Silje reveals she uses running for multitasking, generating creative ideas during trips. Pia then announces her first period after giving birth to Bea in July 2020, sparking a conversation on menstrual health. They talk about menstrual cups and panties as alternatives to tampons, with Silje planning to test them. The episode concludes with previews of upcoming summer Q&A episodes and a Thursday tips segment on menstrual cycles.
