Egil Johansens training log (for parts of 1980s) are available on the web at Staa Paa:

Johansen is one of the all-time greats. He won individual world championships in 1976 and 1978. I think he was 2nd in 1979.

Staa Paa is a Norwegian web-based training log. They've put training logs from a number of top Norwegian athletes on their site (including Grete Waitz and Vegard Ulvang).

Here are a few instructions for how to get from the front page to Johansens training and how to make some sense of the Norwegian.

The front page has a photo on the right side. It pages through various athletes. Wait for Johansen to show up, then click on him. That takes you to the page with his training.

There are then three options.

1. Treningsdagbok
2. Graf - treningstimer pr.måned *
3. Graf - aktivitet og intensitet *

1 is a daily training log. I can't get in to the daily log at work but I can at home. At work my browser is IE 4.0. At home it is IE 5.?.

2 is a graph that shows training hours by month (with different colors for different types of training).

3 is a graph that shows activities and intensities. (I haven't actually looked at graph 3).

Here are a few Norwegian words that will help you make sense of the graphs.

Lop (with a line through the O) is running. There are different versions of Lop. O-lop is orienteering. Lop-v is running on roads. I think Sk refers to skiing. Styrk is strength training.

To look at the graphs, you get a couple of pull-down options. Basically, these options let you specify the dates you want to look at. I'm not sure what the blank labelled hoyde does. I think it mean's height -- but when I put a number in there it doesn't seem to do anything. Leaving it blank works fine.

Johansens training for a year (November 82 to November 83) is available.

It looks like he averages a bit over 40 hours per month. But, January and February have over 80 hours (with about 50 hours each of those months being running on the roads).
