Week 4

At this point in the training year we want everyone to feel stronger and fitter each week. Every session should be absorbed well by the body. We try to incorporate strategic easy weeks during the first 6 weeks of the training year. Curious why? Check out mesocycles and NTS Periodized Strength Training 2022. The first 4 weeks of the training year are a great time to set some baseline training zones for the summer. This week we outline how to perform a treadmill lactate test and also a field test. We continue to increase our ski-specific training and incorporate technique focused double pole speeds rather than intervals this week. See May DP Speeds video
