Monday, December 25, 2006 Looking at some training logsI spent some time yesterday looking at training logs on Attackpoint. I had two questions:1. How many hours had people trained in 2006 (as of yesterday)? 2. How many hours of that was orienteering? I looked mostly at the logs of people I check frequently. I didn't make a careful study, just poked around looking at those logs. You can see the spreadsheet (assuming I used Google spreadsheets correctly). I noticed a few things that, to me, seemed interesting as I looked at the logs. The two runners who had the most orienteering (BorisGR at 209 and Swampfox at 201) have almost opposite orienteering environments. Boris lives in Uppsala and trains with OK Linne. He's got lots of people to train with and lots of organized training to take advantage of. Swampfox lives in Laramie, Wyoming - far from a big organized club and lots of people to train with. The orienteers with the lowest total O' hours are juniors. My total (313 total/94 orienteering) fits in about the middle. I was surprised about that for the orienteering because I've done less orienteering training in the fall than I would normally do. Two reasons for that: I hurt my ankle and running in the terrain has been a bit uncomfortable; and I've been "holding back" a bit in anticipation of doing a good bit more in the first part of 2007. Keep in mind that the logs I look at aren't necessarily representative of how people train - the group is made up of people who I checked frequently. It is a mix of people I know and people who train in ways that I find interesting. Back to okansas.blogspot.com. posted by Michael | 10:27 AM
