Friday, February 07, 2003 100 hour monthBjornar Valstad put in 100+ hours of training in January. Here is what he wrote about it:My goal for January was to develop my local aerobic capacity. The priority was to do a lot of low intensity work. I wanted to get in hilly terrain with some specific strength training. I'd put little focus on O' technique during the period.... My total training for the period was 108 hours, with 102 of it endurance training [I think the period is actually all of January plus the first two days of February] I was able to train a lot. I did a bit of high intensity -- hill intervals or quick distance work on hills. In the next training period, I'll continue to train with the same goal, but I'll increase the specific training a bit and also add some O' technique. I wasn't able to get in some specific training in January because of a little trouble with a knee. My training form during January was mostly classic x-country skiing and running on the snow. I'll add a few comments to Bjornar's training... It is clear that Bjornar is systematic in his training. He has a plan. His plan has objectives. He evaluates how he did. Those are all good things to do. Bjornar works part-time, which must make it a lot easier to train so much in January. The Scandinavian winters are dark. If you can't get out during the daylight during the weeks, putting in so much time would be mentally tough (as if training 100+ hours a month isn't tough enough!). Well, I could write a bit more...but the pizza that I'm making is done. posted by Michael | 7:50 PM
