8th Week - Intensity Block

By -

 What a beautiful and fun weekend in Pinedale!  You all are doing some great ski racing! 

This week we are headed into our intensity block which means we will be decreasing our hours by a little but increasing our speed/Interval workouts and racing.  This means your self-care and recovery are more important than ever.

This is a great YouTube video that my sister created on green tea and how it can keep you healthy through this race season.
