Unlike most aspiring most athletes aspiring to make the Bus to the 2010 Olympics my training venues are limited by geography and time. Being a man I have adapted my environment to meet my needs. No glacier or summer skiing. Currently have my Children and Wife are digging a ski tunnel. Tim and Lowell will not come to my house after there last experience digging a tunnel under Area 132 in Lake Placid in their formative years. Not only are they World Class Biathletes but they can are also world class excavators. They can dig especially when augmented with a six pack of Coca-Cola.br /Also we scrapped the Rollerski Biathlon loop we were scheduled to build this summer.br /br /This is because the Punisher (Skatemill) Is all that I need.br /br /One Man, One Mission, One Area, One Punisher, One Target, One Goal, One Result. br /br /RIght now the focus and purpose is improving ski fitness and technique combined with adapting to shooting fast and furious.br /Fortunately I can be shooting in about 20 seconds from dismounting from the Punisher. br /br /The video above is from a short interval where I was post call( status post limited sleep due to working) after each interval I shot a biathlon stage. I only did twelve that morning.br /br /The previous day it was 8 times 8 minutes at threshold combined with shooting. That is: Jumping off the Punisher sprinting 50 ft grab rifle put on back fire five shots sprint back to the Punisher and rock and roll. Every once in a while take a Lactate sample and adjust speed of the Punisher.br /br /My life is getting very simple. Work, Date with the Punisher, ski Specific strength, repeat, Bike about once a week.br /br /No glaciers no, ski tunnels etc. Boring and I Love it!!/p/divdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6647112093689702615-3284082204900153228?l=www.jackedupoldman.com’ alt=” //div
