Training 12/12 - Finals Week & CB

12/12/2022

0 Comments

 
We made it through the fall semester and now it's finals week! It can be challenging to find time to train this week BUT it sure helps you clear your head so it's sure worth the effort! We will only have organized practice through Wednesday of this week due to finals & the elite team heading to Crested Butte.

We will be posting the training for Jalapeno Peppers, if you don't know which Pepper (Pepper descriptions) you are please contact us and we'll help you decide!

The workouts we have on the schedule are not all team practices BUT if you want to be at your best for the ski season they are ALL super important!

Team Training will be in Green bold italics

  • Take a nap!
Tuesday:
  • Morning 20-40min run active recovery/check in with your body run

  • EVERYONE: Choose your own adventure (2hr) - A race is always fun but if you can't find one then do whatever sounds fun.
