This week will be our second true recovery week in a row. This recovery phase is helping us re-set our body while at the same time slowly introducing new cross training modes like running, hiking, and biking. I still encourage anyone who is able to snow ski to get out when conditions permit. In many of the Western states we are gearing up and looking for crust skiing opportunities when they arise.
Week 50 will be another example of a week where recovery is our primary goal. If you are still feeling tired and warn down from the season taking an extra off day during the week is always a good idea. Next week we will begin to build back in some maintenance intensity sessions to help us bridge the gap into our new training year starting on April 27th.
- When introducing new cross training modes into our routine we want to first focus on technique and straying injury free. Check out Kyle Vela's new entry about preparing your legs for downhill hiking and running
