GPS evaluation Exercises

Corridor orienteering	A corridor is drawn on the map, and the runner is to be inside the corridor at all times. The difficulty of the exercise can be adjusted by varying the width of the corridor, the terrain, the intensity etc. It is best to use GPS for evaluation of the exercise.	Compass, Map reading, Flow, GPS evaluation
Follow the contour	Course where only a single contour is shown between controls (or between some of the controls). Good to use GPS in evaluation of the training.	Contours, GPS evaluation
GPS Distance evaluation	Build up an accurate feeling for distance evaluation in different terrain types using your GPS. Try to run a specified distance in the forest (without looking at your map or GPS), e.g. 100 meters, and check your GPS when you think you have run this distance. Repeat in different terrain types / on paths etc.	Distance evaluation, GPS evaluation
Labyrinth	Draw a virtual labyrinth on the map and place controls inside the labyrinth. Walls shall not be crossed. There should be several alternatives to run from one control to the other.	Compass, Map reading, Simplification, Concentration, Distance evaluation, Map contact, GPS evaluation
No-map compass training	A course on a white sheet of paper with only the course drawn (no details at all).	Compass, Distance evaluation, GPS evaluation
Step counting	Distance evaluation through step counting. Measure a distance on the map (e.g. 100 meters), and run the same distance in different terrain types and count your steps. Repeat until you get familiar with how many steps you need for a certain distance.	Distance evaluation, GPS evaluation
