Week 21

This late summer hard week will include controlled L3 intensity, L4 steady state, and easy distance sessions. Are you going the right pace during these sessions? Our friends at Team Aker Daehlie explain how they approach intensity distribution in this week's Are You Training Too Hard? entry. We post a new video with drills designed to improve skate body position and power development. In the Elite and Junior plans we recommend a classic 10km time-trail and remind athletes to use these session for mental preparation.
