A Practical Guide for orienteers of level "Intermediate +"

How many errors do you typically make during an hour of running on a forest course? Have you ever done such a static analysis of it? Is it around 3 minutes, maybe 7, or even 10, or perhaps more than 15 minutes?

Imagine reducing those mistakes by 5 or 10 times. Do you think it's unrealistic? It's not! All you need are three things: desire (I want), knowledge (I know), and action (I do).

If you're determined to significantly minimise your route execution errors and are ready to put in the effort, this book will equip you with the knowledge you need. After reading it, you'll likely discover new strategies for minimising navigation errors that you've never considered before.

Just think: if you've been losing an average of 5 minutes out of every 60 minutes of running due to errors, this book can help you cut that loss down to just 1 minute or even 30 seconds. The best part is that you won't compromise your current speed; your performance will become remarkably stable.

You can achieve consistent, precise navigation and 'stamp out' outstanding results, just like a machine. It's not complicated. Navigation is a simple concept! But understanding where the risks originate and how to avoid or minimise them is the key.

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13 Today we will take a close look at the route choice for leg 5-6 from the women's elite long-distance at the "Närkekvartetten" 3-day event in Sweden (May 11, 2024) The altitude gain on this leg will not have a significant effect on the route choice. The right-hand route doesn't look bad in the first half, with a fairly large section along the road. However, after the stream (point A), there is difficult navigation with challenging runnability. Therefore, we will abandon this route and choose between the 'direct' and 'left' routes. The straight and left routes are identical up to the midpoint (point B). Therefore, we have ample time on the course to make a decision. Additionally, the alternative of running to point B on the right side of the road (orange track) is not favourable as it involves a longer path compared to the straight route to point B, where there is a long path. Let's look at the differe

Left, Right, or Straight #7

Left, Right, or Straight #7 When I saw leg 4-5, I thought, 'What a not very interesting long leg with an unambiguous route on the right side along the crest of the hill.' However, it turns out that's not actually the case. Many athletes didn't take advantage of this opportunity. Do you think there's an equally viable alternative to the route on the right? source: https://www.livelox.com/Viewer/Costa-Calida-2024-Larga-Caravaca-/M-35A?classId=716564&tab=player Expect a detailed analysis of this leg in a few days.
