Q is for Questions

 

How about a reader participation project?

Checkout my training at Attackpoint,* answer some (or all) of the questions below, and email me (meglin@juno.com) your answers.

* Note: right now (as I'm posting this) Attackpoint seems to be down. So you can't see my training. I'd guess it'll be back online soon.

I'd be interested in seeing how different people answer the questions.

And I'll probably get some really interesting analysis of my training. This page averages about 115 visits a day. Let's say that represents 30 regular readers. Those readers are bound to have tons of orienteering experience and different points of view. If even just a few of the readers take a look at my training and send me their comments I'll certainly learn something very interesting.

Answer as few or as many of the questions as you want. Spend as little or as much time as you want looking at my training. Then send me (meglin@juno.com) your comments.

Thanks.

Here are the training questions:

1. Training volume ? even year round or lots of up-and-down? If the volume is uneven, is it because of periodization or something else?

2. Cross training ? does the orienteer use other sports in training? Do they compete in other sports?

3. O' technique ? Does the orienteer practice technique or do they get their technique through competitions?

4. Injuries and illness ? Does the orienteer have problems with injuries and illness?

5. Does the orienteer have clear, known goals?

6. Does the orienteer work with a coach?

7. Does the orienteer's approach seem to be scientific and detail-oriented or more intuitive?

8. Does an "attitude" come through? Does the orienteer come across as having a positive approach? Do they whine a lot?

9. Does the orienteer seem to be experimenting or following a template?

10. What sort of background does the orienteer have? Do they make maps? Have the competed at a high level in another sport? Did they start at a young age? Have they lived in Europe?

11. Does anything seem striking or unusual?
