 Welcome back and Happy New Year!   We are headed into our intensity block which means we will be decreasing our hours by a little bit but increasing our speed workouts.  This means your self-care and recovery are more important than ever.  We are also transitioning to a lot more skiing and I want to give you as much time on snow as we can get.  This means core and yoga will be on your own this week. This is a great youtube video that my sister created on green tea and how it can keep you healthy through this race season.   https://youtu.be/KAEM4BLG-AU So go green!   Monday am:    Core & Yoga on Your Own Monday pm:     Skate Skiing / 20 min.

Hello Skiers!   I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  I have gotten to do some amazing skiing and I hope you have too!   This week we have team practices Mondy - Wednesday.  It is so important to keep training through the break if you can't make it to practice make sure you are training on your own! A couple of things to remember about holiday practices: 1)  They are optional 2)  If you can't make it to practices you should most definitely continue to train!  If you can ski that would be the best!  If not continue to rock out the dry land! 3)  These practices are really fun!  So get stoked! 4)  We will have practice Monday - Wednesday both weeks of break.  5) All workouts are subject to change due to weather.  We have one last week of our endurance block and next week we start with our intensity block!   Keep that visual of a pyramid in mind.  You can't build a tall pyramid without having a la...
