Just reading on another forum about the training that some of the top NZ runners are doing at the moment. (Willis and Blincoe and a few others)
http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/show-topic-1.php?fid=6621&taid=1&topid=815&vwall=yes
Just keen to see what people think is the best way to maintain orienteering fitness in the middle of a long season like this. I have come off a base from Easter and trying to maintain this till Queens Birthday.
Anyway I try to do the following each week.
Mon : Long Night Run 100-120 min + hills
Tue : (am) 30 min (pm) Steady State 60 min
Wed : 60 min casual
Thu : rest + indoor netball in the evening
Fri : (am) 30 min (pm) 5 x 1km (80 %)
Sat : easy 80-90 min
Sun : Strong hills 60 min or swim if tired.
what are other people up to? or what have they done in the past during the same kind of mid orienteering season. im keen to glean some ideas.
Andy

General plan:
Sat/Sun: 1-2 hr run and 1-2 hr bike (interchangeable days)
Mon: Rest
Tues: 60 min intervals (or time trial every other week)
Wed: 60-90 min bike
Thurs: 60 mins casual
Fri: Rest/dancing 
I try to have good quality specific sessions in the weekends, big missions to push myself most weekends in the month or so before a race.
However have had to cut back while I am rehabilitating from my ITB injury, just cut out the run sessions and bumped up the biking, but reintroduced running this week (concentrating on the new posture prescribed by my physio). Have worked up to 30 mins, and slowly increasing back to original.
I am guessing you were mainly asking the guys, but there's mine anyway
