It is that time of the year the is the hardest for Nordic Skiers. We have finished our seasons, the snow is melting, we are starting to run and we’re a little bored with all the free time without training. Not to worry! We have something to get you STOKED!!! In just 2 short months we will be having the High Plains Memorial Day Ski Camp,  May 26-29 ! That’s right, your chance for that last ski on perfect crust in the beautiful Snowy Range. You’ll get a sexy mind and a sexy body AND learn all the tips and tricks to having a fantastic season next year. Weather you are a top 10 skier or want to be this is the camp for you. We will have UW Nordic Coaches and skiers as mentors for this event so you’ll have a chance to find out how to ski fast in High School, transition to college and rocket onto the College circuit. Space is limited so be sure to register early! Information and Registration:  http://bit.ly/hpsummercamp

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic Spring Break and you are all getting some rest and recovery!  This time of year after a hard race season the best thing that you can do for your training is to take a break and do a lot of active recovery.  For those of you jumping right in to a spring sport, ease in slowly and be kind to your body.  Think about your bucket, it is empty right now and you need to start putting something back in to it.  The way to do this is through rest, active recovery and over distance work outs.  Speed is not important right now and not even good. Here is what I would suggest for training for the next month. Monday:  30 min. Active Recovery Run Tuesday:  20 min. Run, Bike, Walk / 1 hour Yoga, stretching and rolling Wednesday:  1:30 Over Distance Ski as long as you can or Rollerski Thursday:  20 min. Run, Bike, Walk / 1 hour Yoga, stretching and rolling   Friday:  Go to the Park with some friends and play a game! Saturday:  1:30 Over Distance Sk
