At Oringen, I was fortunate enough to go to a presentation that 5-time World Middle Distance champ, Thierry Gueorgiou did. He basically tracked his own progression and in doing so explained a little bit about his own training philosophy  and methods. I took some basic notes for myself that you can check out. If you click on the title there is a link to a World of O page created out of a similar presentation he has done. It is worth looking at because it has some of the maps and visuals that accompanied the presentation and links to other stuff.

Of course, if you haven't already seen them you should definitely look at his Follow Me videos. Click to see one from 2006 in Finland. It is, of course, very interesting for orienteers to see how the world's best does it but I think this is also a really nice way for non-orienteers to see what the sport is all about.
