Week 17
Although we have made a transition toward more intensity training this month we also need to keep the volume high and continue to build our aerobic base. This week is a volume based week that will incorporate two threshold sessions! This is a great opportunity to increase our ski-specific effeceincy with a DP L3 session and a skate steady state session.
Our 6-week power strength phase has come to an end and we now start a 4-week velocity strength phase. Velocity strength is only appropriate if you have had adequate time to build general strength this summer. If you have not, or missed strength training this spring, we recommend returning to a general strength plan for the next 4 weeks.
