20 people's training
Now and then I like to pick a day and see how different people trained on that day. I picked February 26 and looked at how 20 people trained on that day. I picked people I know (most of them recording their training on Attackpoint) and a few elite European orienteers who post their training on the web.
I picked February 26 because I knew some people had run the 150 control course in Spain. I wondered what the rest of us were doing that same day.
Only two of the people I looked at didn't train. One was, I think, recovering from an injury and one was resting for a race on the 27th.
The average amount of training was 1:44. That's quite a lot of training. Half of the people did at least one session of 90+ minutes.
I was surprised to see that almost half of the people I looked at did two sessions.
I saw a lot of cross-training: running, skiing, snow shoeing, cycling and strength training.
