This is the first orienteering practice in a long time so we will be coaching accordingly! This area has a mix of forested parkland, playing fields, schools, and other suburban features. Different groups will be focusing on different topics.
Intermediate group - this group will be provided with a set of short courses of progressing difficulty. Coach Tomas Graham will work be providing tips and feedback throughout the session designed to provide everyone in the group personalized advice.
Advanced and Train to Train groups - the session for these groups has been designed to practice your orienteering warm-up and mental prep. We will be sharing some ideas to incorporate into your warm-up that will help you have a good start and visualize what techniques you should be using during your orienteering race or course.
Team Canada athletes - Team Canada athletes will be using this as a race simulation while tired. Athletes should be prepared to do an intense half hour workout and then run a sprint race full out.
