Wednesday, February 04, 2004 V is for ValstadBjornar Valstad and Hanne Staff's web page is full of interesting stuff. But, it is written in Norwegian. Here is a short translation from an article on Valstad and Staff's training philosophy:Why should you have a train philosophy? Having an idea or a philosophy as a basis for your training makes it easier for you as an athlete. The training philosophy is a system for developing your skills. A system tells you how to work to improve your condition, map reading and mental skills. With a philosophy about why you train the way you do it becomes easier to see how your training fits together as a whole and makes it easier to compete each session [rough translation!]. You know why you train the different sessions and how they affect the development of your performance. A training philosophy is the foundation for your whole life as an athlete. For us it is more concrete than that we have a strong view of how we function best in our daily lives and as athletes -- what affects us positively both in training and in competitions. The training philosophy also helps us in how we build up a training year, training periods, different sessions and what combination we should have in our training in order to improve as athletes. Well, that translation is a bit rough. But, it gives you an idea of what Bjornar and Hanne think about why you should have a "training philosophy." I think most of us have a philosophy, but I don't think most of us have put it down on paper. Bjornar and Hanne have and I suppose I should take some time and translate it. That'll have to wait for another day. posted by Michael | 7:35 PM
