The Danish National Team has only very limited possibilities to train Orienteering at its National Training Center (Aarhus Elite Center). Foundation of the Aarhus Elite Center in 2011 however seems to be one of the most important steps towards successful elite sports development in Danish Orienteering; after this there was a significant rise in successful participation in inernational championships (e.g. number of medals). Aarhus University is quite close to the Aarhus Elite Center, which allows students, to a certain extent, to join lectures as well as training. Most of the elite athletes live close to the Aarhus Elite Center.

"Team Denmark" responsible for supporting elite sport in Denmark; contract with the ministry to guarantee medals. Only medals at World Champs and European Champs count. If not, difficult to get any financing (maybe Top 8). 7 main sports get support - orienteering is the only non-Olympic sport. Interestingly football is not one of these 7 sports. You have to perform every year; need to produce medals every year, ideally three medals per year. First time achieved in Italy last year. - "Team Denmark" has budget of 12.3 mio Euro/year. Funding for orienteering Euro 295.000/year.

"Sports medicine, sports physiology, sports psychology (individual sessions available for any World Class athletes, sports psychologist traveling with team for WOC and some training camps), coordinated work (meetings between coaches and experts every 4-6 weeks), various research projects". Sample research projects: Effect of protein intake, stress during training camps (also during WOC), how is the focus during an orienteering race, test of cold bath after training, etc. 8-10 projects within the last 5 years. Mostly dedicated funding through Team Denmark or through universities - some necessary to use other funding (but very few). Some projects in cooperation with university.

Important decision 2009 (partly due to budget cut): "We will only support athletes who we believe can become World Champions" - important part of the road to success. – decided that we would only support athletes who we believed had the potential to become World Champions. Other athletes were no longer supported by the national team. This . Important decision 2011: Creation of elite center in Århus in 2011 has been the main driver behind the increase in performance for the Danish team at World Championships. From 2014 all national team athletes are required to live & train in Århus to get funding and be in the team. – Without the elite center in Århus we

High Performance Strategy Ideas behind Eliteplan 2013-16 • How to achieve World Class level? High quality and carefully planned training with a progressive and high training volume over many years Inspiring daily training group and setup around the runners Close contact and dialog between runners and highly skilled coaches Possibilities for o-technical challenges
• Do you have to live in Norway, Sweden or Finland to achieve World Class? NO!, we believe the daily training group and setup around the runners are the key factors for development Orientering
sport & natur 17
Do you have to live in Norway, Sweden or Finland to achieve World Class? Until 2009: Yes. Now: No - daily training environment is more important!
High Performance Strategy Ideas behind Eliteplan 2013-16 • Knowledge and innovation driven – not bound by tradition Danish research in Talent Development Environments Continuous flow of small projects in sport physiology, sport psychology, orienteering technique, etc. Corporation with Universities etc.
• Specialization Inspiration from Athletics Focus on 1-2 specific disciplines Less starts at WOC -> Higher chance of winning
• Training Groups Based on the ideas of the research above
• Athlete / coach relationship National team coaches are personal coaches for all athletes Orientering
sport & natur 18
Specialization is very important in the Danish team (only from senior level). Focus on 1-2 specific disciplines. Less starts at WOC -> higher chance of winning. Example: - Ida Bobach has not done any sprint training. All training focused on running in the forest - Maja Alm does all her training on hard surface. Just some training in the forest from "motivational viewpoint"

"For us it is all about winning at WOC and EOC - everything else is training" Other races: World Cups are used for testing race concepts and selecting the team. WRE are used for selecting World Cup teams. Do not look at WRE standing, but at individual races. Before scheme was changed a few years ago you needed race with 1200 WRE points to qualify for WOC. Now with new WRE scheme the WRE points don't tell anything about level and can not be used. No other races are important for Danish national team

Elite center in Århus is key to Danish success: All national team athletes live and train with excellent conditions for developing high performance. 3 coaches employed at the elite training center in Århus, two of them full time (Lindstrøm 100%, Gasbjerg 100%, Ruud 50%) Weekly training program - training each morning and two evenings every week. Strength training done by the sprint coach of Team Denmark (orienteering coaches not always present at strength training sessions) Interval training: Tuesday on hard surface; Thursday in forest. When getting closer to WOC split the group for more specific interval training. Took time before "dared" to introduce morning training - now it works very well, even hard trainings. Most athletes live in elite sport appartements very close to the training center extremely compact. No athletes from other countries at the training center, but "everybody is welcome"

Orientering
sport & natur 25
High Performance Strategy Why in Aarhus? •
All educations are present in Aarhus
•
Flexible studies at University of Aarhus (AU Elitesport)
•
Short distance between training, education, accommodation All within 3-5km, mostly less
•
Short distance to Team Danmark / Section for Sports Physiotherapy / sports doctor / chiropractor / masseur / dietician / physical testing / sports psychology etc.
• •
Many terrains within 60 min drive from Aarhus – but no technically demanding Recommendations for Danish athletes Study in Aarhus Stays in Nordic countries for shorter (2-6 weeks) or longer (3-6 month) periods can be good for developing o-technical skills, but must be coordinated with the responsible coach Moving to Aarhus at latest when becoming a senior – Required to be in the National Team
Orientering
sport & natur 26
Why Århus? Elite sport program at University = flexible studies (you are not required to study 100%, possible to get exam moved or taken abroad, etc.. Interesting: Study says that students on the elite sport program take more study points than the average student. Note that elite sport program is also available to foreigners). All education types present in Århus, short distance to Team Denmark services, everything within 3-5 km, many terrains within 60 min driving from Århus (20 maps, no technically demanding)
52
Flexible education? Exam in the morning – World Cup in the afternoon
Orientering
sport & natur 27
Question: - You have a very young team. What happens when the athletes finish their education and need to work? Answer: - We basically want them to study as long as possible. Aarhus University supports executing exams all over the world in parallel to official exams done in the university, which significantly minimizes conflicts between studying and doing competitions.

High Performance Strategy Talent centers – regional training groups • Goal Training groups that motivate and inspire young talents to do elite training
• Training / coaching Weekly technical training Coaching by qualified coach
• Recommendations for young talents High school in 4 years instead of the normal 3 years To stay in ones regional training centre the first couple of years, then a move to Aarhus can be considered Orientering

4 regional training centers Goal is to motivate and inspire young talents to do elite training Weekly technical training - coaching by qualified coach Recommendations for young talents: High school in 4 years instead of 3. Not move to Århus. As selection criterion, in general, performance is more important than results.

High Performance Strategy The role of the Coach • All national team athletes are coached by national coaches • Close relationship is essential to achieve success Especially in the event of a crisis. Know your athletes, and they must know you
• The coach is responsible for all training Setting new standards of what s possible Development oriented and long term focus High level of knowledge is necessary
• If no coach is present, the risk of loosing a talent is high • 24x7x52 => it is a way of living Orientering

Most of the weekly trainings for the elite athletes are personally guided by a professional coach. month, if required from economical point of view. The most important aspect is to have a very close contact to the athletes; as long as the athlete completely trusts the coach (e.g. national coach), it works well. Question: How to overcome the who still follow t Answer: Strong management in the national team and quite close cooperation with athletes.

Started as a project in 2010. Value based. The athletes came up with the values themselves, BUT nobody talked about winning. Lindstrøm introduced the value of winning, and athletes accepted the value. The 4 values: "We are training to win, we live professionally, we make each other better, we are a team" End every day by telling positive stories to eachother about the values. Done for 5 years now.

Experience from 2014 -> training camps need to be longer (2-3 weeks). Never have time to recover and evaluate on "traditional" training camps of ~1 week. Longer training camps give less stress 2015: Feb: 2 weeks in Spain -> Test out focused training schedule. Learned a lot, and found out that this is really good. April: 2 weeks starting in Denmark, continuing in JK/Scotland -> Started the training camp in Denmark as more relevant terrains for middle/relay in Denmark then second part in JK + Scotland. This was a bad idea. Too much stress. July: 3 weeks in Scotland. Worked very, very well.

"A lot of time to recover on the long training camps" More focus on smart training than on volume. Skipped focus on long distance for everybody except Ida Bobach (as realized that she was the only one with real chances). Avoid hotel style accommodation to simulate daily routines like at home (cooking etc. done by athletes, even at WOC). Allow time for recovery! Even travel time is not recovery. "Scotland was perfect - there was no internet connection". For most of the athletes it was a relief, for some athletes it was a bit stressful

Any training should target a specific physical capability i.eg. VO2Max, local capacity, running economy, recovery, running technique, etc. Individualized intensity zones for each athlete

Volume in it self is not a goal, but a measure of progression in training load But remember volume is not the only factor of training load

"Training longer than 90 min = Waste of valueable time". Still behind this statement. Ida Bobach has not run any sessions longer than 105 minutes. Maja Alm has not run any trainings longer than 90 minutes in as long as I can remember. Rather train twice a day. Any training should target a specific physical capability i.eg. VO2Max, local capacity, running economy, recovery, running technique, etc. Volume in it self is not a goal, but a measure of progression in training load (but remember volume is not the only factor of training load). It is not about recovering from training, but preparing for training (change of approach)
Preparation for WOC 2015 Physical training of Maja Alm •
General principles Meso cycles of 3-4 weeks •
2-3 weeks of high training load followed by 1 week of recovery
First 1-2 Meso cycles of base training • • •
Volume in training just below aerobic threshold Intensive sessions around anaerobic threshold Hard surface in most trainings – forest orienteering as variation/motivation
Then 1 Meso cycle of intensive training • • • •
Volume in training just below aerobic threshold Intensive sessions above anaerobic threshold Sprint trainings also included Hard surface in most trainings – forest orienteering as variation/motivation
Followed by 14 days of tapering • • •
Reduction to 50-60% of intensive cycles Number of sessions and intensity still the same More time for recovery
Development monitored in testing lab • •
Starting speed 11 km/h. Each stage 4min followed by 1min breaks Speed increases by 0,5 km/h. Continue until exhaustion

Preparation for WOC 2015 Orienteering technical training •
Analysis of number of controls
Much higher compared to Italy -> shorter legs Attack/exit strategy more important
•
As many sprint trainings as possible Sprint trainings done at competition speed Theoretical preparations -> similar to 2014 Many visits to Nairn/Forres Prepared for artificial fences
Varying terrain types Sprint: open for touris -> no suprises Middle/Relay: Similar to Northern Zealand Long: Rough and unknown

Sprint training
•
Forrest training Prioritizing middle and relay relevant training Only few 1:15.000 scale training (just for Ane, Ida and Thor) Hard to find relevant areas -> stayed in Denmark for 3 days in March
Speed vs specific training Relay and competition trainings prioritized Easy trainings -> focus on control attack/exit strategy

Observed that there would be a lot more controls in Scotland than in Italy (even for sprint) -> a lot of training with shorter legs Lindstrøm: "- Sad that there were no surprises in the WOC Sprint" -> boring course, ended up in a running race

Challenges ahead • Recruitment of talents The future look too good Few new talents underway Analysis of critical stages is currently being done
• Political stability Visionary leadership and constant innovation leads to mane changes – some non-traditional Danish Orienteering in general is inspired by Scandinavia – The national team is not Hard for the common Danish orienteer to understand Orientering

Agenda Structure of high performance sport in Norway Role of the national team coaches Financial basis for the squads Physical training of athletes Development projects
Norsk Orientering
Norway does not have a formalized structure with youth teams, regional training centers or even a dedicated junior national team as most of the other top orienteering nations. Instead Norway’s approach is to put a lot of focus on helping the clubs building a training environment in which future World Champions can develop.
Folie 4
Goal (from Strategy 2020)
”Norwegian Orienteering has a strong elite sport which develops talent and ensures Norway’s position as one of the leading orienteering nations in the world” “One of the best development environments in the world” See more details in the document ”Toppidrettsplanen”

Cooperation between clubs & federation Development of young talents builds on close cooperation between clubs & federation Four central focus areas: Camp Norway: 2-3 training camps each year in Norway or Europe. Focus age 15-20 years, but also open for seniors. Focus on educating club coaches and athletes. Train best at home: Via talent developer there is high focus on improving the training work done at home, in the clubs. Talent developer visits clubs/trainings. Focus on how to achieve quality in local training; educate in the “ orwegian model” High performance coach forum: Club coaches or personal coaches with athletes close to international top level invited to a number of meetings throughout the year Formal meetings between national team and clubs: A number of meetings to improve communication both ways.
Norsk Orientering
evelopment of young talents and Norwegian success in the future therefore builds on a close cooperation between clubs and ederation. here are four central focus areas in this cooperation. Camp Norway goal is to educate coaches and athletes. It is not the training during the camp that is in focus. 71

Physical training of the athletes “ or e ian training model” Typically many hours of training – many of them in (nordic) terrain Relatively high amount of low intensity training
Norsk Orientering
When comparing the wiss and the anish athletes’ approach to training with the Norwegian athletes, it is evident that there are significant changes. he Norwegian training model is based on many hours of low intensity training, while wiss and anish runners have very few long trainings at low intensity I . anish coach ars indstr m even said that he sees no reason for trainings longer than minutes. Comparing this with a typical training wee of agne hlie see below , this is a very different story. his again proves that there are many different ways to the goal you need to find the best way for each athlete.

Discussion: Testing of o-technical abilities? Question: How to test o-technical abilities – and development in o-technical abilities? We have tests for physical abilities, but difficult to find good test methods for o-technical abilities
Possible approaches: Determining “orienteering efficiency” by running a course twice – first time with orienteering, second time without “ erfor ance index” approach Finland: My-o competition analysis? Tests for specific skills: Direction running, corridor running etc. Other possibilities? Does anybody use a test scheme today?

Folie 2 2
Goals of analysis in training camps •
Group of runners (ideally N>10): ”See the big picture” – Weaknesses or ”problems” of group (either in specific terrain or in general; within group or compared to other athletes) – Challenges & best solutions for specific terrain type (typically next year’s WOC terrain) • • • •
•
Route choices Micro route choices Runnability – fast and slow areas Typical mistakes / time losses
Individual athletes (best found from group analysis) – Strength and weaknesses of individual athletes – Top potential of athletes (e.g. for selections)

Analysis in the Norwegian Team training camps (1) •
Use of GPS and electronic punching – GPS at all high intensity trainings – split times if possible – GPS at trainings with specific motivation which can be evaluated well with GPS – may plan trainings specifically based on GPSevaluation – Split times + GPS at sprint trainings
•
JanK present at main training camps each season since 2010 – Feedback from athletes that dedicated person to do analysis/collect data greatly improves quality – JK sets up GPS + does analysis from home for remaining camps; now also ” eveloping” other persons who can do analysis in training camps – Helps to be in terrain/part of course (understand challenges) – WOC pre-camp not the best place for detailed analysis; few athletes to compare, run different courses ”se onfidence” for athletes important issue
Folie 4 4
Analysis in the Norwegian Team training camps (2) •
Mantra from the start: ” 19:00 can be thrown
s s not ready until meeting at ”
– Need to learn from the training while it is fresh – before moving on to new challenges – Main analysis used to take several hours to understand all details based on group analysis – with more effective tools in 2DRerun now takes significantly shorter time – Also possible with analysis partly finished when athletes return from forest; have not found it better with deeper analysis a bit later

Development of GPS-analysis in the Norwegian Team from 2010 • •
From simple ”m p e rep of GPS track ” to more intuitive visualizations Brief look at presentation from Olympiatoppens Forskningskonferanse – https://prezi.com/i8feywoqf6o4/analyse-og-visualisering-avgps-og-akselerometerdata-i-orienteringslp/
•
Development last year(s) – Moved from analysis meetings each evening to analysis in smaller groups -> more detailed analysis for each athlete – Dedicated goals for the athletes to be evaluated for each session
Folie 6 6
What do we want to achieve with the analysis? • • •
•
What are the questions you want answered? Which tools/analysis methods can give the questions as effectively as possible? In which trainings should the coach/athlete spend time on GPS analysis? Easy to go into traps when analyzing: – Determine how many seconds lost, but not why ... – A lot of focus on GPS-analysis at various levels, but often forget why it is used
86
Folie 7

Use of GPS/split time analysis •
”S r
forward” use case:
– Evaluate performance of single athlete at single training/race • Understand why time losses (reason) or why good performance
– Evaluate route choices in single race/training • Understand which route is best – and why
•
Largest potential: ”See the big picture” – Identity & evaluate strengths/weaknesses for single runners • In single race or over time / statistics • Track development / improvements in technique
– Identity & evaluate strengths/weaknesses for group of runners • E.g. direction running, speed adaption, risk etc.
– Learn new type of terrain

Sample: Strengths/weaknesses of group of athletes - National team France ahead of WOC 2011 - Challenging to do this type of analysis. Several trainings and a lot of time required for analysis
Fra årsrapport GPS-prosjektet 2011
Analyses report after WOC 2011 trainingcamp: - Execution of the leg is more important then routechoice - Many mistakes within control area – good attackpoint and precise direction - Many mistakes due to „not relying on youself“ - Timelosses due to low speed when insecure (mainly among women but also men) - Routechoice only lite differences – chose routes with secure entry into control area - 1:15.000 also faktor for insecurities – did we train enough on 1:15.000 – Magnifier (rain?)
Folie 10 10
How to transfer knowledge to the athletes? (1) •
The main purpose with the analysis is that the athletes (on their own) shall choose the correct solution in a competition setting – One of the most important result from a GPS/splits analysis is reflection / though process / understanding for the athlete – Must assure that the knowledge is transferred to the athlete – Good visualization of the analysis results can give ”picture” which is easy to understand for the athlete
88
Folie 11
11
How to transfer knowledge to the athletes? (2) •
GPS-analysis does not (necessarily) replace drawing of route choice with a pen – Drawing of route choice with a pen guarantees thought process for the athlete. – When using GPS analysis the coach/analysis expert must ensure the thought process for the athlete – Can (and shoudl) combine both methods

See very often in international orienteering that execution of the leg (including micro routechoice) is more important than routechoice – Especially important to understand the importance of micro routechoices in ” nknow ” terrain – crucial part o ” earning a new terrain type”
•
Practical use in 2DRerun: • AutOanalysis (either straight or weighted for different levels) • Different coloring for different speed zones / only show route for certain speeds • Replay with time slider (not very effective)

•
Practical examples of use: – Pre- or post analysis: Measure length of alternatives (in 2DRerun or 2DRerun Courseplanning module) and add ” own informatio ” about surface, corners, stairs etc. – Combine GPS-data with actual split times for direct analysis in 2DRerun (import split times to 2DRerun) – Use SPAS for analysis (most accurate but time consuming)

Other focus areas •
”Cause -> Effe ” – Mistake is usually done before the actual time loss – Using GPS-analysis you often focus on the timeloss itself instead of the reason for teh time loss. The reason for the mistake can often be found a lot earlier – often due to routines not working / mental issues / loss of concentration etc. – Question: • When was the athlete not able to answer ” ere am I – where am i goi • Conversation with athlete important in this process
•
Evaluation/testing of athletes – Direction running (Direct length A-B vs distance run A-B) – Corridor – In/out of control (time loss through control)

Coaching system / M/W21 STRENGTHS: Enough training camps in WOC relevant terrain type for the best. Talent activities (21-23 y) improved the past few years (Monitoring, sparring, camps). Most of the best athletes live and train at one of the 3 training centers (Helsinki, Tampere, Turku). ”The best athletes sparring each other in the best conditions with the best coaches.” – 3 full time ”olympic coaches” + network of experts – good quality training and systematic testing – expertise and assistance reachable for the best Relationship/interaction between the athlete, personal coach & supportive experts correlates with the athlete performance/progress). … also a weakness Allmost all athletes have a peronal coach or mentor. Physical training is well planned and systematic. Athletes are in the core, individuals are taken into account … too much?
www.suunnis
Coaching system / M/W21 WEAKNESSES: Health problems. Athlete in the core; too much individualism? Commitment not good enough. National team activities cover 1/3 of the year? Training quality and commitment in some cases is not good enough. High fees for talents, weak financial support to the next best. We have not succeeded in taking the best juniors to top10 in the WOC lately. Expertise and assistance not easy to reach and too ”expensive” for a student. There is a ”black hole” outside Helsinki-Tampere-Turku triangle. Clubs do not cooperate enough. Relationship/interaction between the athlete, personal coach & supportive experts correlates with the athlete performance/progress). … also a strength Holistic training philosophy is not well enough assimilated among the athletes and personal coaches. Athletes use to concentrate too much on physical training and do less O-technical trainings/sessions. In most cases interaction between the full time coaches, clubs and personal coaches is irregular and not good enough. Coaches (99%) ”work” on voluntary basis. Club trainings/camps do not support the athlete s personal goals (Kalevan Rasti excluded). www.suunnis

27.09.15
Coaching system / M/W15-20 STRENGTHS: Commitment and devotion improving; athletes and coaches are about to understand what it needs to reach the international level. More resources to junior national team (2 full time coaches, more camp days, My-O training dairy and competition analysis). Enough camps and competitions abroad (junior national team & regional groups) ! experience of different terrain types. Enlargened junior national team (ca. 15 ! 25 athletes) ! long perspective progress, younger ones learn from older ones, success in the junior class is not the final goal. Personal coaches attending a part of the national team camps. Team spirit. Evaluation: systematic monitoring of physical, psychomotor and o-technical factors. Crystallising holistic training philosophy; different themes on the homeland camps. Young orienteers attend running competitions. Positive progress in competition and test results meaning progress. www.suunnis
Coaching system / M/W15-20 WEAKNESSES: -
-
-
-
There is a ”black hole” outside Helsinki-Tampere-Turku triangle. Regional coaching system (training centers, sports academies, secondary sports schools) is otherwise weak and does not reach all talents. Athletes are not committed. Long distances between home and training. The ”system” does not have a satisfactory impact on daily training. Preventing support system lead by federation is missing. We ve got doctors, physios, masseurs etc., but in many cases it is a question about reacting not proacting. Regional camps for the next best juniors should be focused more. There should be a responsible person to take care about this. Crashes between senior and junior national team programs. High fees for the athletes when attending national team camps and EYOC.

Petteri reflected the positions of all the top O-countries and compared concepts to Finland's. This showed, that Finland is highly competitive and knows where it stands. Petteri gave his most concern to the question „How do we bring the message to the athlets? … and this has been his final statement concluding his speech too.

Offensiv orientering Vägval till glädje och framgång
• It is very important to see the whole person both before and after the career. We believe that if • • • • • •
we let the whole person grow, that will affect the results. We like to give the athletes something to work on where they can socialize this time (ahead of France 2011) it was nitting socks. It is important to know why we do things, and that what we do is right. Not just do things just because we did this last year. Develop the personality and thus develop the (orienteering) performance Individual athletes that want it their way but they are a national team Sharing the solution to e. g. mapping in JWOC Bulgaria => shared the solution how to understand the map For juniors: how are you working (personal note: in live and) in forest => how can you develop!

Offensiv orientering Vägval till glädje och framgång
3 national teams in Sweden total of 40 athletes: A team with 18 athletes Younger senior team with 12 athletes (started one year ago) Junior team with 10 athletes Some thoughts about the team structure: 40 athletes: Some think 40 is too many. But we have WOC at home ground in Sweden next year, and we want it to be open for as many as possible as long as possible. Younger senior team: We wanted to have extra effort on these younger seniors who could disappear. I think this is a good idea. Take care of injured athletes: Olle Boström was on the podium at WOC long in France in 2011. Injured for several years, but we really believed in him. Still want to take care of injured athletes in the national team for some years. This year Boström took a medal in Scotland. Why is the junior team so small? -40 athletes) where the main activity is done. The small (10 athlete) team is for the very top junior athletes. They ones in the team get training camps for free, support from medical team/expertise team and coaching. Last week in Switzerland 41 athletes (which all had to pay for themselves) Why is A-team so big? We asked the athletes, and they think it is good with a large team. There are so many good athletes. Then they get pushed at the training camps. Note that also for the A-team there are open camps. Budget: The budget is half of what it was in 2011. From 2011 the budget has gone down step by step we hope we are at the bottom now We have 580.000 EUR/year for high performance, all inclusive (this is excluded the money athletes pay for the open camps) We do not get a penny from the Olympic Commitee. We get some money from the Swedish Sports Federation (RF). They have changed the way they give out money, and we are the big losers. Also some money from O-Ringen not much money from sponsors. We are proud that even with half of the budget we still manage our goals. Athlete income/costs: A few of the best get 5.000 EUR/year from RF Athletes have their own sponsor contracts; medal bonuses Athletes get WOC, WC, JWOC for free the rest they have to pay Folie 25 149

CZE Elite O Structure • currently no state-funded elite training centre access for orienteers (reason - not a recognized Olympic sport) = more frequent national team training activities = elite O is mainly an academic issue in CZE

• in total we produce about 90 days of team activities • main work is done at training camps (not optimal...)
ven if very low budget, there are uite large national teams. nd most athletes in the national team attend all national team activities. For now runners in the three senior national teams. Many days with team activities: days of team activities is of a year. he main work for head coach is at the training camps. Not much time to develop things between the training camps during the season. “During the season it is cra y” Folie 10
CZE Elite O Structure • strengths of Czech system tradition, position, federation organisation many well organised competitions frequent competing face-to-face devoted people quick implementation of inovations at nat. level national team economy national team activities? ;)
Strengths: Tradition and good position; we are respected among the other nations. We also have runners who have decisive legs in the Scandinavian clubs in the big relays. Important part of this is that we are invited to cooperate with other teams on the training camps.Many well organized competitions; level of competitions in CZE is high and stable. Often the World Cup level is lower than our average quality competition level. This is sad.

TRAINING SYSTEM - frequent challenges • • • • • • • • •
AT-LAT space employment high intensity handling key sessions ground employment system fragmenation due to races recovery time shape tuning training evidence lack of specific focus
Folie 21
AT-LAT space employment • some of men already changed the approach to easy running since 2011-2012 (shorter sessions, higher intensity) • instructive session at nat.team camp in autumn 2013 • recommendation from treadmill test, autumn 2014: most of runners should employ AT-LAT space (=basic training is done to slowly) • some individual convincing dialogues • treadmill test in march 2015: generally visible improvements • 3km test in june 2015: big progress of women
raining system: hange inspired by hrer Swit erland he most important difference between and S I was that S I ran the “slow sessions” a lot faster shorter. Made changes inspired by Swiss approach. Started in to change training program to shorter sessions with higher intensity for selected runners Instructive session at the national team camp in autumn ab testing of team treadmill test autumn . esult from treadmill test was that the runners had far too little training with “medium intensity”. iked the long slow trainings, not the medium long on hard surface. onvinced that needed to change the system. New treadmill test in march : enerally visible improvements km test in une : ig progress of the tests of the women
180
Folie 22
SYSTEM - intensity handling improvement opportunities • • • • • •
too many intensive sessions too high share of high intensity - burn out too long session times ignorance of interval method insufficient recovery time no evidence of performance improvement
Folie 23
TRAINIG SYSTEM - key sessions • key session most relevant sessions within training plan uncompromisingly repeated also enables to assess the progress enables to observe the body response on load
• frequent mistakes no key lines present too big diversity of key sessions hinders progress assessment insufficient focus of key sessions - wrong sessions chosen
• examples typical key session - 8x 1km... is it orienteering relevant? cross-country skiing instead of running - what do we stimulate? track intervals - randomly chosen length and spacing will I get better at middle distance after many 10km asphalt runs?
ften problem that the key sessions have been missing not thought through in the training plans.
181
Folie 24
TRAINING SYSTEM - key sessions •
example: broken-terrain intervals (most specific session) graded run in demanding terrain (running economy; performance when tired...) sunday´s long run in demanding terrain for running economy development plus a AE-AN run on a flat surface for performance control
•
if these sessions can´t be executed, it is desirable to include them some other day so that the most important training effect will not be harmed
Example: Runner replaced track intervals with terrain intervals, and could really see the improvements
Folie 25
TRAINING SYSTEM - ground & profile ground is one of key training parameters; unfortunately quite often not handled with proper care
We thought that we were not good enough technically for middle distance races and always focused on the navigation part to get better. But then we realized that the problem was not the navigation, but that we were not physically strong enough. When this was improved, the results also got a lot better.
182
Folie 26
TRAINING SYSTEM - destruction due to races... • •
quite often athletes fail to keep the proper training system after the season has started during the most important preparation period athletes just live from weekend to weekend... too much intensity & limited space for proper recovery and increase of performance absence of low-speed trainings (AP-AN) - literally a continuous shape tuning fed by competing and map reading weakening of performance often solved... again by more intensity ;)
Folie 27
TRAINING SYSTEM - destruction due to races... • •
consequence -> status quo or even worse performance than in winter how to face it? consultant / mirror priority setting preparation periods planned also when the season is running some races skipped, some run knowingly without proper running shape insert more time of low-intensity work
183
Folie 28
TRAINING SYSTEM - recovery time
Folie 29
TRANINIG SYSTEM - recovery time • recovery space is often given by the length of the basic training plan element - usually it is one week: 6 days of training + 1 day of recovery - is that most effective for everyone? • some athletes use shorter basic elements:

Folie 30
TRAINING SYSTEM - shape tuning one of important challenges - to find a working shape tuning system sometimes difficult to convince athletes to do "so little"
Folie 31
TRAINING SYSTEM - synthesis • all desirable development goals are projected into content of basic training sequence - usually a week: individual (different school timetable, recovery time, terrain availability etc.) never perfect, always a compromise

Folie 32
TRAINING SYSTEM - training evidence • some challenges in CZE no evidence = no controlled development not only numbers, feelings also valuable suitable structure of columns leads athletes to desirable focus fundamentally evidence of time, not distance a mutual comparison: leads also mostly to focus on quantity factors; quality factors are often impossible to be entirely described by numbers

Folie 34
TRAINING FOCUS Some faults of traditional approach in CZE which needed to get corrected: Despite we would like to get better in orienteering it is still enough to practise mostly on hard even surface during winters. (No!) We think that we are not that good at middle because of weak o-technique. (No!)
Folie 35
TRAINING FOCUS Why don´t we train specificly enough? • • • • • •
habits + lack of fresh know-how in orienteering copywriting of athletic approach not enough domestic pressure (e.g. relay comp. speed at home x intern.) not keen enough when complicated to get into terrain low rate of satisfaction - quality is difficult to measure and register prejudices - "in terrain it is not possible to reach the intensity needed for effective AN treshold stimulation" (maybe just an evidence of insufficient adaptation? competition orienteering HF usually higher than on track...)
187
Folie 36
TRAINING FOCUS
Folie 37
TRAINING FOCUS How to aim better? • • •
basic condition: find a satisfaction in specific terrain running transfer a part of intensive trainings on a broken terrain buld running economy with help of AET-ANT runs in broken terrain (if no forest available, use plowed field or clearing full of branches and undervegetation...) • at least one extreme terrain run per week (some places make you go...) • hills to be run outside tracks • just a limited substitution of running by other activities • outdoor strength sessions (e.g. repeated jumps, then short steep hill ended by a short flat sprint) At the same time keep enough work on homogenous surface to preserve athletic capacity and development of urban sprint capacity. ...If the training is specific enough, perhaps no need to undergo risky special running strength training in the gym (when lack of proffesional guidance). P
he ech runners mostly stay on the roads in the winter training – need to change the training focus in order to improve.
188
Folie 38
TRAINING FOCUS Also urban sprint tends to put specific demands on running preparation • • •
profile stairs radical speed changes, stops/starts - dynamic
Training simulation of Vojta Král -> Such a session helps also to build a psychosomatic ability to handle such a course (important, because otherwise we still run just a few sprint races per year.)
Folie 39
3km track test • long tradition (till 2012 5km for men, since then 3km) • intention is to have face-to-face test - needs to be incorporated into WOC/EOC selection criteria • assessment point table shows desired development from age of 15 • not any direct relation to O-performance, but still very valuable and trustful feedback with long-term effect
3 km track test: Long tradition – part of WOC selection Face-to-face test as part of the WOC/EOC selection. One day, one place, everyone. This has no direct relation to orienteering performance, but still valuable and trustful feedback with long-term effect. Also stimulated to work on this factor. We tried to find alternative tests which were more relevant to orienteering, but could not find any. Note how the women improved a lot from 2014 to 2015 – think this is due to change in training system/approach (with higher intensity on the slow trainings).

VISION & GOALS setting -> absence of clear goals & visions has destructive impact on training focus (and thus effectivity) short term goals adequate (demanding, but reachable) graduous » domestic champs -> UWOC/WC -> WOC
quantified (= feedback) » "want a medal from champs " vs. "want to run better orienteering"
(!) the selection to team should not be an ultimate goal
long term key role - provides field for stabilisation and repeated attempt
significant role of a coach/consultant within the goal forming process proper setting of short term goals and opening of long-term horizon, which is difficult to handle for youngsters/youth
development of vision as a frequently observed perequisite of a shift to higher performance level
Important that the runners have goals motivation. bsence of clear goals has destructive impact on training focus and thus effectivity

Folie 44
NAVIGATION UNDER CONTROL • Ex.: Unaware approach to an orienteering race as to a running race against rivals is a fundamental mistake, which contributes to unstable navigation. • If the perception of race is fixed in a wrong way, we tend to solve problems using legs instead of brain. • Gaining full control over competition performance is a basic starting-point for performance stabilisation in orienteering. (Any work is useless if I don´t want to be precise and if I can´t control what I am doing.)
Folie 45
calmness... example 1: Hubmann´s map reading stop example 2: run-in vs. performance
Novotny tells a story about Daniel ubmann in a selection race where Novotny was sitting in the forest observing. ubmann “dared” to stop for several seconds, calmly, and not continuing until he was in control. indstr m: Do you need to have a flow all the time, or is it to stop Important point: It is important to do what works for the individual. Many saw mma lingenberg at who stopped at many controls. his was deliberate.
192
Folie 46
NAVIGATION UNDER CONTROL When competing, no space for coincidence and luck shall be left. Basic tasks sorted by priority 1. mistake-free run (enough checking, all necessary info gained from map, proper speed adaptation) 2. optimal route-choice 3. as simple and fast as possible (quality of operational plan on each leg) Basic development mechanism • task completed -> proud, happy; this run should be preserved in memory • failed -> dissatisfaction; analyse, search for causes Basic condition • high commitment for "methodic execution of run" and "mistake-free approach"; ability to avoid "blind running" (world stars are extremely serious and responsible concerning the navigation) Basic method is continuous planning and plan careful execution • in each moment I know what I am doing and what will happen next
nother techni ue to help gaining control over the race inspired by Danish approach : “Moment handling S technical tactical stop - restart”. ery important to have this type of techni ue, but difficult to learn to use it at the correct time place. If this would have been e ercised more accurately, the orienteering would have been more stable. hallenge: Not that necessary in ech terrain.
Folie 47
NAVIGATION UNDER CONTROL Proper inner race perception: • "It is only me who can spoil it!" (golden rule) • "Every step is under control." • "I am not going to RUN. I am going to THINK and CONSUME MAP." • "Performance, not result." • "Just me, map, course and terrain." • "Mistakes may never be waved away." • Orienteering is like a car drive. When I can´t see the road, I need to slow down and switch on the lights. • Each leg is a challenge to be solved.
193
Folie 48
NAVIGATION UNDER CONTROL Some other techniques helping to gain control over the race: start moment handling TTS (technical tactical stop) - ability to recognize a mistake at its very beginning and solve it "restart" ability
Operational plan among controls • simplified, but robust solution - a matter of routine, practise, experience • interconnection of visible objects, using sight, or some navigation techniques like direction, contour... these techniques are therefore important to be mastered • paradox: sometimes we are not even able to invent a robust leg plan virtually - quite obvious this skill should be practised
Folie 49
operational leg plan – task (10´)

Folie 50
NAVIGATION UNDER CONTROL How to support full control gaining: inner shift towards desirable race perception (provide evidence; autosuggestion...) declare total war to mistakes registration and structured analysing of races/sessions as a part of natural pressure each technical session needs to have clear goal, mostly mistake-free status (as well as running session has its exact goals as for speed...) and needs to be analysed and assessed (!) consumption of map without proper focus leads to fixation of bad habits and too easygoing approach practising of operational planning memory runs try to make the whole course plan first at home and then execute it in terrain "traffic light" sessions - proper pace shifting inner dialogue shading sessions
