ROGAINING

Rogaining training plans, built for your goal

Rogaining events run 6, 12 or 24 hours across open terrain, so the sport is decided as much by route-choice strategy and pacing discipline as by navigation accuracy — a team that nails every checkpoint but blows their energy budget in hour three won't out-score a team that reads the map well and paces evenly. SportBlox builds your rogaining training plan around your goal, current level and whether navigation, pacing or multi-hour endurance is the real gap.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like navigation accuracy under fatigue, energy pacing across multiple hours, night navigation confidence and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
