This week the master and junior plans enter a medium taper in preparation for their late winter competition series (Junior Nationals and World Master). We are entering the time of year when L3 threshold interval training will reduce while L4 training days will become more frequent. Remember to keep the easy days in controlled L1, see our new video on how to improve L1 skiing technique. The elite plan begins a medium training week designed to maintain fitness during a non-race week.
