Week 49

Whether you have finished your race season or not, week 49 typically marks the end of our winter competition phase. This means we continue to focus on maintenance fitness this week before transitioning into a recovery phase for weeks 50-52 of the training year. It's important to remember that athletes can still further their skiing development while still prioritizing recovery. Are you still on snow? Prioritize some technique work when conditions allow. This week our masters, elite, and junior plans all incorporate some sustained interval training and/or a longer OD to blow out the season. Still have decent skiing conditions? Go for the 100k!
This week we also post our new April strength routine and US Biathlon skier Scott Lacy walks us though some season review strategies.
