Anne Margrethe Hausken's training
Anne Margrethe Hausken's got a new web page that looks like it'll be interesting. It looks like it'll be Norwegian only. Here is a bit of what she wrote about her training:
From November 2004 to April 2005, about 50 percent of my running was on a map. The portion is about 40 percent now. I am a bit believer in O' technique training in both high and low speed. Finding a lot of controls during easy sessions gives me confidenc, and I've decided to keep that sort of training throughout the season.
Throughout my orienteering training I'v gone back and forth about the value of technique training at an easy pace. For a while I felt any O' training was good -- no matter how fast or slow. Then I started to think you should save O' technique training for hard/fast sessions. I also started limiting my technique training. I felt that if I did too much O' technique training I'd go to races feeling less than motivated. Then I started thinking that I should do lots of O' technique, but mostly short/fast sessions. I felt it was better to do 15-20 minute O' courses 5 times a week, than one 100 minute session.
My thinking these days is close to what Hausken describes -- I think a lot of O' technique, some hard/fast so easy/slow, is the best approach.
