Week 14

For many skiers their biggest volume weeks of the year will fall between training weeks 13 - 16. These big volume weeks in late July or early August mark the end of our 'base building' phase as we transition into more intensity training. Yes, we will still have massive training weeks in September, November and December but these late summer volume weeks are unique due to their L1 and over-distance focus. 

On tap this week we schedule some big distance days including a 4-6 hour over-distance ski on the weekend. Here in Bozeman we will do our annual 100k rollerski. All plans recommend some controlled L3 intervals, single stick / double pole specific strength, and speed early on in the week when our bodies are fresh. Some plans only include one gym session (This is to help prioritize L1 distance hours). Use our new 11-minute core routine as a replacement.
