Short note from Valstad on technique training
From Bjornar Valstad's home page [note: this was a very fast and rough translation]:
The fundamentals to build good technique at race pace have my priority in technique training [this fall]. I've visited about 450 controls since October. The number could have been higher, but it is more important to -- leg by leg and control by control -- work in the right approach. We know that how we react in race situations is based on our feelings and thoughts. So we've got to teach our subconscious, over and over, how to do it right. That applies to beginners and elite runners.
While you've got a few minutes, check out the training course that Vlastad posted to go along with his comments.
I just took a look at my training log to see how many controls I've found since the beginning of October. I've found 273 controls since the beginning of October.
