Week 7
Now that we have 6 weeks of training under our belts it's time for some aerobic and ski specific tests. Testing is a great way to track improvement throughout the training year while keeping us motivated and focused. This week we recommend an uphill running effort and a double pole test. If you prefer a 3,000m running test and a 5k Skierg test these are great substitutes.
Early June is a perfect time to set a baseline summer test now that everyone has settled into the summer training routine. We will perform these tests again in August and October. This week we also recommend a technique focused classic speed session (see video), and two max strength sessions. With the added stress of high intensity make sure the easy distance days are slow and steady.
