2nd Week - Thanksgiving Break

By -

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! (like Brian says no junk food)

Monday PM:   Meet in the Yellow Pod / 30 min. Warm-Up Run / Core & Yoga in the Yellow Pod

Tuesday AM:  On your own / 30 min. Level 1 Run! 

Tuesday PM:  Meet by the Ski Room 20 min. warm up / Hill Resistance training (bring your poles) / 10 min. Cool Down 

Thanksgiving Break Plan!

Wednesday Morning  Meet at the ski room @ 8:30 am / Rollerski Clinic / TBA on Location

Wednesday PM:  On your own / 20 - 30 min run Core & Yoga

This is when we take some of the training load off and let our bodies super-compensate for all our hard work.  It is super important that you do not stop training and do not start any new activities right now.  You want to focus on staying/ getting healthy, eating well, sleeping, and focusing your energy where needed! This Peaking program works extremely well if you: Do the training properly and don't do too much (you'll get tired and not race to your potential) Do the training properly and don't do too little (you'll get sick or sicker) Even if you are not going to state or nationals this will help you with the last couple of weeks of your season and help with any spring racing you plan to do. WE WILL HAVE PRACTICE MONDAY & TUESDAY BUT IF YOU ARE STILL SICK TAKE ANOTHER REST DAY!  One last thing, we will announce who has qualified for state on Wednesday of this week.  W...
