Training Plan and Announcements for Week of Dec. 23-28
Over break we will try to have coach-led practices mainly in the mornings. We will just meet at the parks and so skiers will need to organize rides. We hope to see you out there but do understand that this is a busy time of year with many commitments. Stay tuned for changes as some trails/parks may become unskiable with the warm weather. If you are not able to make it to practice, try to get out and ski/workout when you can. Varsity and JV1 skiers trying to compete at the top level need to keep working out over break. Try to follow the workout plan even if you can’t make it to practice. Interval workouts are very important and when you go ski, make it count and try to ski continuously. Thank you to everyone who helped our team raise money this week at the Chipotle night and the Cub Foods bagging event! Note to Ski campers:
** BRING SKATE AND CLASSIC SKIS TO EACH PRACTICE** Monday - Meet at French Regional Park at 9am Workout: Skate strength intervals, no pole and double pole with sprint starts. Tuesday - Meet at Wirth at 8:30am Workout: 120 minute ski Wednesday - No practice, try to get out for a workout, 45-60 mins.
