Wednesday, November 08, 2006 950 hours of trainingMarianne Andersen wrote about her last year of training, where she did about 950 hours of training. That's a lot. If you can read Norwegian, read what she wrote.If not, I'll note a few things that she wrote about. The pie chart shows how her training breaks down by type. Perhaps the most interesting thing in this chart is that less than half of her training is running. She does as much alternative training as she does running. Her alternative training is mostly cycling on a trainer, skiing, roller skiing and cyling.  Her training was heavily influenced by some injuries. In her summary, Andersen wrote about three injuries affecting her training. In another article on her page, Andersen wrote about her plans for the coming years. Here is a quick translation of a bit of what she wrote: A training goal for the coming year is to train a bit less than I have the last two seasons. Anotehr goal is to run more. I will put some focus on running on hard surfaces, since I think I have room to improve in that area. But, I will also continue to do a lot of running on trails and in the forest. I'm also going to work on increasing my O' technique speed. I think it is just as important to be able to orienteer effectively at a high speed as it is to run fast. Looking at the latest WOC results, Andersen was just 22 seconds behind in the middle distance race and 26 seconds behind in the long distance race. It'll be interesting to see how it goes in 2007. posted by Michael | 8:39 PM
