Orienteering at school for ages 13-15, Chapter 33: ONE MAN RELAY

ONE MAN RELAY

Relay with yourself!

The students carry out this exercise on their own or in pairs. Have a mass start or wave start every half-minute on all four courses. In the example below the students run six courses, but it works just as well with four or eight courses. Lesson time determines the participation in the activity. The base is four courses but also implements each course in the opposite direction. If you have eight courses, start every minute, all the students will start after four minutes. 

After each completed course the students have a shorter break, checking their performance, getting feedback from the teacher and then preparing for the next lap, finding the controls in a smoother way if possible.

This is a very good form of interval training were the students get the opportunity to run individually.
