Training
As mentioned before the main ambition of The Forward Orienteering Team is to provide training opportunities for Czech elite runners.
Individuals and small groups from abroad are welcome too in order to boost training efforts and widen orienteering perspectives of all parties.
The team has worked on a smaller scale for almost two years.
The proximity of the WOC 2008 and the similarity of its terrains to the ones in Zlin prompt us to accelerate our activities.
The week days' training will still work on its regular base: intervals, 2-3 map sessions in the area of Zlin,
indoor training of running technique etc. In addition, occasional weekend camps all around Moravia will be organized.
About 100 reflexive stripes set out in the forest can be used for night trainings.
For those coming for a short time only, there are 3 permanent courses (sprint, middle, long) prepared to compare their time and way choice.
There is one element to count with though: weather. In the winter 2005/2006 there was up to 70cm snow around Zlin
and some of it lasted untill March. In contrast, the grass stayed green throughout last winter.
The up-to-date
fo-ot training calendar is constantly being updated and elaborated on.
The
traditional running affairs remain perpetual, with its legs swathed in history.
