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.
Leg splitting +Run a course with several long/half-long l … Run a course with several long/half-long legs. Before leaving a control, have your attackpoints for the leg and your route for the leg ready. Method: For each leg, divide the leg into parts by identifying your attackpoints, i.e. the points on the leg which are your safe points where you need to be 100% sure about where you are. Mark these attackpoints mentally. you are. Mark these attackpoints mentally.
Leg splitting - theoretical +Take a course with several long/half-long … Take a course with several long/half-long legs. For each leg, divide the leg into parts by identifying your attackpoints, i.e. the points on the leg which are your safe points where you need to be 100% sure about where you are. Mark these attackpoints on the map, and then continue with drawing your planned route for the leg. Repeat for all legs in the course. he leg. Repeat for all legs in the course.
Line orienteering +A line is drawn on the map, and the runner is to be on the line at all times. The difficulty of the exercise can be adjusted by varying the terrain, the intensity etc. It is best to use GPS for evaluation of the exercise.

M

Map memory +The runner gets a map showing the next control, and must memorize the leg. At each control, the runner gets another control.
Map memory duo +Map memory exercise in which two runners r … Map memory exercise in which two runners run together. At the start, the first runner memorizes the leg to the first control - then gives the map to the second runner. The first runner then runs to the first control - the second runner memorizes the leg to the second control while running behind. At the second control, the first runner gets the map again. Continue this way through the course, never stopping at the control. the course, never stopping at the control.
Map surveying +Map surveying is a good exercise in order to understand properly how a map is built up.
Map without paths +Make a course on a map from which all paths have been removed.
Mass-start legs +You have a normal orienteering course. A g … You have a normal orienteering course. A group of 3-6 runners run together, and at each control there is a new mass-start. The goal is to be the first to the control each time. For 4 runners, you can e.g. have a scoring 4-2-1-0. Restart as soon as possible. ring 4-2-1-0. Restart as soon as possible.
Micro +A normal course is made, but for each cont … A normal course is made, but for each control, there are several other controls within the control circle. There is no code on the controls, so the runner must decide which control is the correct one by studying the map and the control description. Some kind of penalty (penalty loop running, time penalty etc.) is given for each wrong control. lty etc.) is given for each wrong control.
Multi-mass-start relay +Relay with very short legs, in which there … Relay with very short legs, in which there is a new mass-start for each leg. Each runner runs 4 legs, and there are 3-4 runners in each team. The first team coming in on each leg gets 4 points, the second 2 points, the third 1 point - the rest zero points. Points are added for the team. The next leg starts when the second last runner returns from the previous leg. Very intensive relay training with a lot of pressure on the runners. We usually get several DSQ'es as the runners do not tackle the pressure. This relay training is a lot of fun! sure. This relay training is a lot of fun!

N

Never stop +Run a normal course, but you are never all … Run a normal course, but you are never allowed to stop! That is, you have to keep running all the time. If you don't know where to run or need to relocate, you have to keep running on the spot (but this should be avoided, you should rather run more slowly ahead of this point). ther run more slowly ahead of this point).
Night orienteering +Running at night with limited visibility, is a very good map reading exercise as one has to be more exact in ones orienteering. Compass is also more important at night than in daytime. A normal course will do, but e.g. a corridor is even more interesting.
No-map compass training +A course on a white sheet of paper with only the course drawn (no details at all).

O

One man relay +Several courses from the same starting point - one runner runs all courses. Mass start. Typically some parts of the courses overlap.
Orienteering intervals +Several short courses (alternatively parts of a long course) which are run at high speed, with a pause between each course. Several variants are described.

P

Play Catching Features +Play the computer game Catching Features.
Prolong the control +Focus on making each control easier by "pr … Focus on making each control easier by "prolonging the control". Prolonging the control means to find features close to the control which are wider than the feature the control is placed on, i.e. you can have a larger error in your compass course and still find the control easily. There are several variants of this training - also a theoretical exercise. is training - also a theoretical exercise.

R

Reduced map compass training +Make a course on a reduced map, where the reduced map is made by removing many details in such a way that the compass is the only option for orienteering. For example, you can have a map with only black details left. Use this for compass training.
Reduced map training +Make a course on a reduced map, where the reduced map is made by removing many details. For example, you can have a map with only vegetation details left.
Remove map between controls +Exercise for compass orienteering in which the area between controls is erased using OCAD or drawn black using a covering marker pen. You need to relocate with the features available when you come into the part with map.
Route choice testing +Course with many long legs with route choice alternatives. The time for the different routes are compared. See below for several variants. Comparing GPS tracks after the training is a very good way to evaluate the training.
Route to Christmas +The Route to Christmas series gives you a lot of Route Choice cases to solve. You first get to see a leg without routes, and then the routes of the runners.
Run on simplification map +You get a map in which only the details which are needed for the orienteering are included. This exercise should be followed up with comparison of the full map and the simplified map, and an exercise where you shall draw your own simplification map.

S

Sailor Training +The athlete should follow a opaque line on the map which width is adapted to the terrain. The athlete is that way forced to navigate with objects alongside his direct route. At some control points even the controls object might be removed.
