Oystein Kvaal Osterbo says that they haven't been doing enough orienteering training in easy-to-run terrain.
Jarle Ausland, a national team trainer, said that some of the best are training to improve both running and O' technique in non-Nordic terrain. He also pointed out that some of the elite runners are doing intervals with track runners.
Osterbo, Slokvik and Bjornar Valstad all point out that it might be good to do more racing - not just training camps - in continental terrain.
