Training tip from Helana Jansson
The Swedish O' Federation is publishing some training tips. Here's a rough translation of a bit from Helana Jansson about how she prepares for the first races of the season:
I usually sit down in peace and quiet, think through how my winter training has gone and what I've done. Has my training gone well? I have been healthy and have done my best, and have trained well. So there isn't much to worry about. I also think about the previous year, about competitions that went well. I think about why it went well and about how it felt before the competitions and how it felt after.
Before I am at the starting line for the season's first race I have a bunch of positive thoughts. I remember exactly how I felt when I ran well. That makes it easier to get that same feeling this time....
