Length

8 Weeks

Plan Description

This 8 week trail and agility program is geared toward the age group endurance athlete looking to change up their 'on road' training routine. Or if they are interested in venturing into a new sport either on a whim, or during their off season. Also, great for adolescence interested in JROTC fitness and training.

Note, this is not a learn how to orienteer course. Instead it is the training you will need to get your legs ready to walk/run/trek through an orienteering course from 1 to 3 hours in length.

Using your mind during an orienteering course is a true challenge when your heart is pumping with the physical demands of of the course. It is quite a thrill when you clear your first 'O' course knowing you not only pushed your body physically, but mentally as well.

Below is a reference link to the basics of reading an orienteering map, and using a compass:

*Search for your local Orienteering Organization online and add their events to your calendar. Most have events starting in September/Fall months.
*Another great 'urban' way to practice orienteering is Geocaching (www.geocaching.com). Download the app to see what caches are stashed around your area.
*Another useful mapping app is www.caltopo.com

Endurance Coaching and Massage by Misty Becerra

Growing up in south Florida and vacationing in the mountains of North Carolina, I had the best of both worlds to grow athletically. 

My multisport background and exercise physiology education blends perfectly for coaching creatively. 

Writing training plans for over 18 years, it is time to share some of my favorites. Starting with the off road, and adventure sports.
