I keep my running log by recording distance ran, time and maximum heart rate. My maximum heart rate is 198 and resting heart rate is 44-58

.

I train 16 hours a week. 10 hours of this is aerobic steady running on asphalt and 2 hours is aneorobic on the track. 2 hours Per week biking and 2 hours Orienteering. I do calisthenics and strength training during the remaining time. I train every day except Monday which is my rest day.

 

Plans For 2007

I need to devote more time to training and the winter season is ideal for achieving this.  I plan on competing in 16 races, with varying levels of difficulty, in 8 countries.  The Scandanavian forests are ideal for perfecting Orienteering techniques. In the event that I get sponsorship and financial support I will be able to pursue this line of training.

My goal is to be in the top 3 in the top Elite level World Ranking Events by 2010. I feel I will achieve this goal as long as I believe in myself and my training.
