Less than two months left to TCS Lidingöloppet: How Swedes get the most out of their workouts

A new survey conducted on behalf of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), shows that Swedes get the most out of running if they set their targets with others

Almost half of the Swedish runners feel that they are more efficient if they set targets for their running together with others, according to a recent survey from YouGov. 49 percent of respondents say they are more efficient if they set a target that they can compare with others, while less than a quarter of the respondents say that it would affect their running negatively (for instance by stressing them).

Furthermore, the YouGov-survey shows that Swedes by far prefer to run in cross country terrain over in a city environment or at the gym. 77 percent says that they prefer running cross country, compared to just 11 percent at the gym and 8 percent in the city.

Since 2016, TCS is the title sponsor and technology partner of TCS Lidingöloppet, the world’s largest cross country race. The race spans over 30 kilometers at the island of Lidingö outside of Stockholm, Sweden. It gathers more than 15 000 participants annually from Sweden and all over the world. It is now less than three months left to the race, which is a good time to set a goal and get started with training for the race in September.

“We find the results of the YouGov-survey encouraging since helping people achieve their goals together is what we do whether it is in IT or at TCS Lidingöloppet. We even have running teams at TCS where we encourage our own employees to run together to help them achieve their running goals, says Avinash Limaye, Country Manager at TCS Sweden.

About the Survey
YouGov implemented the survey on behalf of TCS and asked 1000 Swedes about their training and running preferences. The survey was conducted between 9^th June – 12^th June 2017.
