Thursday, December 30, 2004 D is for DalbyKristian Dalby, that is. Dalby is on the Norwegian national team. He's on the "U25 group", which we'd probably call something like the "development team."I came across Dalby's home page a few weeks ago. It doesn't look like the home page has had much action to date (only three news items spread over about two months). I hope that'll change as the O' season starts up. Dalby wrote a few paragraphs about his training. I've translated some of what he wrote. I think my translation is ok, but keep in mind that my Norwegian is a bit rough: I have a plain and simple training philosophy, you train what you want to be good at. I want to be a good orienteer. So I have to do as much orienteering as possible. That is one reason I moved from my hometown of Halden to Kristiansand for the 2004 season. I think it is essential to be able to train orienteering year round, something I can do in Kristiansand. I could have done that in Halden, too, but I thought that it was important to get a new type of terrain to further develop my orienteering.... At the same time I'm trying to think long-term, and I think the most important thing is to gradually increase my goals and the amount of training I do. I believe it is essential to avoid the most dangerous mistakes in the build-up period of my career, namely long periods of illness or injuries. It worked well in my first year as a senior (2004) even though I increased my training volume by about 100 hours, from 530 hours/year to about 630. My plan for 2005 is to train about 670 hours. posted by Michael | 8:19 PM
