LHS Nordic Ski Team Blog!!

  Greetings Skiers!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break, ate a lot of good food, and got to do some running or skiing! This week is a bit up in the air so keep your eye on the blog and be prepared for anything. You can bring your skis and put them in the ski room so you are ready to ski if we can.  Make sure to bring plenty of warm clothes as well as hat and gloves. If you did a lot of training over the break, ensure you are recovering and can absorb all your work!

This is the most important training week of the season so don't let your turkey stop you from putting in some hours of training!  If you can't be on skis take your running shoes or roller skis and hit the pavement!   If you feel like you need more training than you are getting with the team, the green workouts can be a good addition to your training. However, this is not recommended for freshmen and new skiers. In addition, these extra workouts should not compromise our afternoon workouts with the team.  We will be cross-training this week!   Please bring your running shoes and your bounding poles!  Be ready for anything!   Also, Please remember gloves, hats, PANTS ski clothes that are not cotton t-shirts, and food to close the glycogen window!
