Basis of training by Tero Pitkämäki1. HEALTH - Primarily concentrate on recovering training => Long distance aerobic training: jogging, skiing, paddling => stretching every day => strengthening little muscles => NO MASSAGE - Plan strict 3-5 week training periods - Right balance between power and recovering training !

2. OWN ROAD - We have found the best possible training system for Tero - even so eyes open to sideways - We have followed the basic training system for 6 years, adding only a few movements - We have created our own mode for handling for the publicity together with manager Tero Heiska 4. TO BE A JAVELIN THROWER: THROWING - The main exercises in every week are throws! => full concentrion => easy rest or recovery exercise the day before a throwing day - Through big amount of throws, about 12 000 throws / year, ½ by javelin and ½ by overweight shots => confident of the technique => throwing durability

5. GOING FORWARD STEP BY STEP - Clear and realistic aims for the training year and longer terms such as the next Olympic Games - The goal is to improve all the test records a little bit every year - Explosion, elasticity and speed qualities, which have already been reached, are maintained - Strength qualities increase up calmly => at the most 5-10 % / year - The main goal is to create long career 6. QUALITY - You have to do every little thing as good as possible, even better than all of the other rivals, because they are also training today ! - The thinking must be always with-in you !! =>Thinking is always advisable – if you think you can reach the top, it’s possible |
