Week 6 and 7: Winter Break

By -
This is going to be a short week of school but a very important two weeks of training.  This is an important time to get in a lot of on snow skiing that we have been missing so far this season.

Doing quality training right now will help you to avoiding being a Christmas star and peaking too soon.  You have been training hard and if you take two weeks off right now there is a good chance your body will go in to its supercompensation mode about two months too soon.  We have touched very briefly on the concept of supercompensation but I think this model really does a good job of showing you what we are doing with our training.


So Here is what the winter break will look like:

Monday:  Skate Skiing!!! / 30 min. Warm up / 45 Body Position and Timing Drills / 10 min. Cool Down

Tuesday am:  6:20 at 7220 / 20 min run / Plyos

Eat Your Wheaties!

Breakfast Is For Champions By: Abigail Larson MS, CSCS You’ve heard it before, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. But if you are like many athletes breakfast is a mere afterthought if even a thought at all. But you are different than most people; you are an athlete and that makes breakfast not just important but essential for success in sport, work and/or school. Skipping breakfast slows your body’s ability to burn calories (metabolism) and brain function, and you set yourself up to raid the school vending machine by midmorning. When your blood sugar crashes you’re not likely to make nutritionally wise choices and it’s easy to go for a quick “fix” that will send you crashing again later in the day. This “crash” will cause your training and sports performance to suffer because you won’t have the energy necessary to keep up with your well-nourished teammates and competitors. To train and compete optimally you must eat optimally from start to finish everyday. Lots o

3rd Week - Endurance Block

By -
 Greetings Skiers!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and got to eat a lot of good food!  I also hope you are ready to rock out some more dryland training this week. From the forecast, we don't have much snow in the near future (maybe some this weekend.)  However, if that changes be ready to do some skiing!   If you did a lot of training over the break, make sure you are recovering and being able to absorb all the work you did! Please come prepared to be outside for practice to do more strength circuits, hill bounding, and running!  The workouts in red are optional workouts for those of you who are feeling you need to get in more hours. I am working on planning a ski for Saturday and will let you know more as we get closer! Monday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run on your own   Monday PM:   30 min. Run / Core & Yoga at 3:30 in the Yellow Pod and Nutrition talk!  Tuesday PM:   20 min. Warm-up Run / Strength Circuit / 10 min. Cool Down  Wednesday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run-on your
