Week 4 - Endurance Block

By -

I just want to take a moment to reflect on the race weekend in Casper.  It was such a smooth start to the race season.  Thank you everyone for your great leadership, hard skiing and fun!  I am so excited about the future of the team!  

This week we will have an active recovery day on Monday.  This is very important to ensure you are able to train well for the rest of the week.  However, if you need to make up schoolwork or have another obligation tomorrow is the day to do it!  Also, if you are still feeling really tired from racing instead of coming to practice go home and take a nap or watch some world cup racing on youtube.  This race is an awesome one to watch:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrBCKPx81LI

Lastly, if you are feeling great and you feel like you are getting a positive response to your training try doing some of the morning workouts on your own!

Here is the training for the week:

Monday am:  Sleep In!
