Nov 9-15

This weeks training


Please make sure you train in your zone, it is very important



We are winding down the volume phase of our program, our goals are to:

Building Endurance - this is done through Cardio lots of volume in  Zone 1R

Improving Technique - this is done by working on your technique during roller ski, ski striding and bounding sessions.

Building Upper body efficiency - Notice I did not say strength, we need to be better at double poling not body building.  Time on the ski erg, roller board and doing body weight strength will help accomplish this objective.


Track your Kilometers to Build Endurance

To provide some motivation to build endurance we are going to start to count Kilometers.  We will keep track of the number of kilometers that everyone does from November 1 - March 30.  You will move your skier around the 250 KM course.  You will get a sticker at 50, 100, 200 and 250 KM.  The person who does the most KM will get be honored in this years banquet with the "Most KM award". 

How does it work
The KM tracking sheet has to be filled in and signed off by parents and submitted to the coaches (available in documents section on website).
  • For every KM you ski you get 1 KM
  • For every KM you s roller ski you get 1 KM
