Week 16
Everyone should feel recovered and ready to rip after a lighter training week. This week we want to capitalize on this energy with some faster moving and higher intensity training. We ease into the week with some skating technique work (see stacked skate push) and some foot sprint intensity. If you are uncomfortable doing this workout running or have an injury you can substitute with cycling or hiking.
We continue with our power strength routine (remember our current strength phase is a 6 week cycle) and recommend a rollerski time trial on the weekend! This is a great time of year to familiarize ourselves with ski racing efforts and start to prepare mentally for the season (see TT and mental preparation) .
