5. Kauhee route choice training by Aaro Asikainen
The name of the map, Kauhee, means “horrible”, “terrible”. And that says it all. Very challenging, if contour reading isn’t one’s strength. For a skilled, fit runner close to paradise. A beautiful, higher area, just like Koli, but more wilderness. The map has been made 2001, updated 2015. Courses 9,0 km, 5,7 km and 3,2 km.
6. Kuusoja recovery training
