Preparing for the sprint world champs
Here are a few words from Gunilla Svaerd:
Sunday, July 6....Some stair training. I've been doing that regularly to prepare for the sprint at the World Champs. There are a lot of stairs in Rapperswil [the town where the sprint race takes place]. I run on stairs outdoors, both up and down.
One of the things I like about orienteering is the environment. Running in the forest is great. I'm not sure what I think about the sport being brought into urban environments. Running on concrete, up and down stairways, and between buildings just doesn't seem right. I guess it is how the sport is developing. But, I'm not sure it is positive development.
