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.

    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
