At the weekend FÍF organised a training camp for young athletes in Klaksvík. 6 young people took part in this first training camp. They were Jóan Karl Joensen, Bjørk Herup Olsen, Rannvá Djurholm and Rúni Seloy from Bragdið, and Jan Elmar Sørensen and Rebekka Fuglø from Treysti. The organisers were Hallur Holm and Guttorm Sørensen.

Friday
The participants met at the badminton hall at 18:30 on Friday evening. The first training session was already on the programme at 19:00. It started with a 3 km warm-up from the badminton hall out to Grøv and then to Vágsheygagøta, where the “fartlek” began. They ran from the fire station up Vágsheygagøta, some 310-315 metres, at high speed, and then jogged down Uppsalagøta and back to the fire station, which was about 480 metres. Four laps were run, a total of 3.15 km. The cool-down was 2 kilometres. The weather during the session was as good as you could imagine at this time of year.

Refuelling at the breakfast table
Saturday
The day began with breakfast at 8:00 and then rest until 10:00, when an easy 7-kilometre run was on the programme. The route was a so-called “figure 8”, which is a route around the town. This run went off well, even though it started to rain. The afternoon was about getting some rest before the next hard session.
At 17:30 in the afternoon there was training again. This time the warm-up went from Kjalarvegur out to Grøv, where three short strides were run past the cemetery, before everyone finished on the road down in Grøv. The warm-up was about 2.5 km long. Then came 5 x 400m intervals on the road from Grøv to the tunnel road. The recovery was to jog back and then stop for some 10-20 seconds before the next interval. The cool-down this time was 1.2 km straight home. Once again the session was completed in the most beautiful weather.
After everyone had showered and eaten a good dinner from Ingun, Hallur had a chat with each participant about various things and their individual plans for the future.
An unusual sight in Klaksvík. 8 stylish runners.

Sunday
On Sunday morning breakfast was at 7:30, followed by a light session at 9:00. The run went from Kjalarvegur north to Ánir, where there was a short stretching break, before running back home. A run of a good 6 kilometres. After that everyone went to the swimming pool to swim and change. At 12:30 everyone had a good Sunday lunch, and at 15:00 everyone went home.

Everyone agreed that a good weekend in Klaksvík had come to an end, and hoped that a similar training camp would happen again soon.
