Johan Modig's winter training
I like reading how orienteers train. And I can't think of anything to write tonight, so I'll translate a bit of something Johan Modig wrote about his winter training:
I started training for next year's season a few weeks ago.
So far I've be satisfied with one session a day, but now I'll begin to increase it a bit. My plan is to do 7-10 sessions/week during the base training period.
A change in my training is that the number of sessions of alternative training will increase. At the same time this will mean more quality sessions than prior years.
During the winter, my interval training will mostly be on a cycle or running in a pool. In terms of running, I won't be doing intervals, but some longer tempo sessions of 30-50 minutes.
Last year I did very few long distance sessions. This winter there will be some more.
For a little context I took a quick look at Modig's training from last winter season. Here are his weekly hours of training for the period beginning December 2003 and ending mid-April 2004 (hours and minutes per week):
