Week 49

Welcome to the 49th week of the training year! For many of us this marks the beginning of our recovery phase. For some of us we will continue to take advantage of late season skiing and racing. Check out Late Season Training Tips for ideas on how to make the most of your April down time. If you are still racing, or training on snow this week, reference the Master plan for guidance. Feel free to replace any race recommendations with long ski days. 

If you are done skiing for the season reference the elite and junior plans for ways to prioritize recovery while at the same time focusing on strength and injury prevention. Check out Spring Plyo Prep and Kurt Jepson's Isometric Lower Extremity Exercises entry for ways to strengthen problem areas for skiers.
