Extreme training [ For inspiration: a true viking breaks a record]
Any other tales of extreme training and hours? This sounds truly nuts.

The guy I met did stuff like 70 (yes!) 400 m intervals as the last half of the second (out of two or three) training sessions per day. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com for modern folkways and culture revival... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...new books featuring: XC ski culture, a Gulf Coast thriller folding bicycles ... with radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national "Off the Beaten Path" travel forums!

Possibly this is Tom Stensaker? Here is an old article about him: "http://www.geocities.com/maraton_info/emirror/tom_em.htm" (in English) "http://www.geocities.com/maraton_info/intervju/tom.htm" (in Norwegian) I couldn't find much recent info about him, but there are a few pictures of Tom from May 2003 of Oslo Ski Asscociations site: "http://www.skiforeningen.no/imgshow.cgi?nr=2154" -- David Dermott , Wolfville Ridge, Nova Scotia, Canada email: WWW pages: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/dermott/ |
