Week 35
This week we reduce total training volume to elicit some recovery but also focus on quality sessions, transition training, and preparing for the race season. Do you know what to eat to perform your best? Check out Fueling For Race Day for ideas. We continue our series on on-snow technique progressions with our second video outlining V2 technique. The holiday season can be stressful on many levels especially if we are trying to stick to a rigorous training plan. Sarah Willis PhD. discusses stress and its effect on the body.
The junior plan recommends some practice race prep and a TT effort. If you are preparing for US Nationals the Elite plan will serve as a nice guide on early season sharpening to prepare for a big race week.
