Week 25
After an intensity block it's important to plan the appropriate recovery in order to absorb the harder sessions. This week we plan just one intensity session for both masters and juniors.
(If folks are feeling really good by Friday and you would like to add in some additional intensity for the week I would recommend a 30 seconds sprint intensity workout)
Recovery is our top priority during the first half of the week so we have planned low daily volume. For those who like to incorporate some active recovery we have re-posted a short but effective yoga routine for skiers.
NOTES:
- This time of year we like to hit the core as frequently as possible. If feeling good incorporate a core session of your choice (Day 1 or Day 2) after a short run on Tuesday afternoon.
- Masters: Feel free to do some speeds in either Tuesday's session or Friday's session. Throw in x10 by 10 seconds speeds throughout the session.
- Use the x45 minutes no pole skating as a good way to work on technique but also build lower body specific strength. Chose challenging terrain.
- After so much L4 and harder intensity the L3 pace should feel really comfortable! During the fall it can be easy to forget about double poling intervals but they are important to plan every 2-3 weeks. Even for folks to focus primality on skate skiing!
