Swiss training
Some good stuff over at OPN.NO from Thomas Buhrer on how the Swiss national team trains. If you can't read Norwegian, here is one quote that struck me as interesting:
On his philosophy as a trainer, Buhrer said, "in an endurance sport like orienteering, 20 percent is about talent and 80 percent is about training. To reach the top, you've got to have a passion for orienteering, and instinct for competition, and to be able to practice an individual sport in a team environment as often as possible.
