What were Staff and Valstad up to?
Hanne Staff and Bjornar Valstad have been at a training camp and some races in Sweden. Here is a quick translation:
The goal for this period of our training has been to work on the fundamental thought patterns that are the base for good O' technique at high speed. Therefore we've done some long session of classic-character at a low/moderate speed; control picking to force a high map reading frequency; and some threshold-speed sessions where both physical capacity and O' technique go together....
Well, that's a pretty rough translation. But, it gives you an idea of how they're training and how they think about different types of technique training.
