Anders Nordberg's training
I came across a short description of Anders Nordberg's training. Nordberg took the bronze in the WOC middle distance race this year.
Nordberg wrote about his training in Norwegian, which is just different enough from Swedish that I can't always understand it. More often, I can read it but miss a word or two. Maybe I'll get really inspired and, together with my Norwegian-English dictionary make my way through the entire article. But not tonight.
Instead, let me just note a couple of factoids from his training:
1. A goal for this season, and for next season, will be to train more in the terrain.
2. In 2000, Nordberg did 56 hours of technique training. This year he'll do about 175 hours of technique training.
3. He tries to have two hard sessions a week. One is intervals and the other is a orienteering session. He also does one easy long run with a map.
