Uphill Run/Fun

We use the test to see how individuals and the group are reacting to the training. As a group, things look good ( 70% set PR’s today). For the people who did not improve today, we chat to see what we can learn. Sometimes you can learn more from a poor performance than from a good one.

During the fall we tend to have everyone train similarly. Hopefully over this period we can find patterns that lead each person to good and bad performances. These patterns are very individual. As we get dialed in with each person, we start to individualize more and during the winter we try to get each skier on a pattern that helps them feel best for their biggest races.

The course starts below school at the bottom of County Road and climbs 2 miles up to the end of our double pole test.

While the runners were running, Mollie and Brooke did a tough 9 minute uphill classic test and Anika and Corky skied a distance workout with a couple of pick ups.

We then all gathered and joined the snowboarders for a great game of 4 team, 4 goal, 3 ball soccer. See if you can figure that out! (it was awesome).

Now it’s class time until 5:15, then we’ll do some strength. Pictures from this morning below:
