13 Week - Start of Tapper & Jackson Race

By -

 I want to start out by thanking you all for your amazing racing and perseverance this past weekend in Lander.  You all did such an amazing job and I really feel like things are starting to come together for our team!  

The exciting news is you did it!  You have made it to the point in the season where we start to Tapper!  Tapper is when we start to take the number of hours we have been training down and start to shorten up our interval sessions.  

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF TAPPER:  You do not want to stop training nor do you want to start anything new!!!  This is not when you start up your new hobby of roller skating at the terrain park!  If you stop training the chances of getting sick go way up.  This is not the way to ski your fastest at state.  

Monday AM:  Core and Yoga on your own
Monday:  Classic Skiing / 45 min. Active Recovery Ski and Technique work (this is an easy ski at a low intensity designed to leave you feeling recovered at the end!)

*Name the team for Jackson and turn in race registration 

Tuesday AM:  20 - 30 min. Walk on your own
Tuesday:  Skate Skiing / 20 min. Warm-up / 8 x 30 sec. Intervals / 10 Min. Cool Down

Wednesday AM:  Core and Yoga on your own
Wednesday:  Classic Skiing / 1:00 Over Distance with 6 x 5-second pick-ups 

Thursday AM:  30 min. Walk on your own
Thursday:  Travel to Jackson / Leave at 7 am / Wax and Run when we get there.

Information for the Jackson race can be found here:
