2/15 - Peaking because why not!?!?

2/15/2021

0 Comments

 
We hope that you all had a great week of training and are starting to feel a little more recovered after that beastie weekend at the Alley Loop!

We are moving into our peak training because, why not? Might as well see how it treats everyone and that way you should feel great for the few remaining races. We are on our peaking program so things will change at times so pay attention and please don't start new activities. Ideally this time of year we would only have 5 weeks until Nationals so you would want to start concentrating on staying/getting healthy, eating well, resting and focusing your energy where it is needed. This year is very different but if you'd like to see how the peaking will work for your going forward you can behave as if you are working towards a culminating event.

This peaking programs works extremely well if you
  • If do the training properly and don't do too much (you'll get tired and not race to your potential).
  • If you do the training properly and don't do too little (you'll get sick!)

This coming weekend we'll be doing something a little different, with the Elite Team headed to SOHO.

Training for Week:
Monday:
  • Off - Take a nap!
Tuesday:
  • NOTE: We really want you to do a run on this day. This is important for keeping the running muscles in shape so a switch to running for a warmup or evening run does not cause undue soreness. This scenario happens ever season!
  • Morning run or ski - short active recovery
  • 6pm, Core & Yoga! Zoom Link: uwyo.zoom.us/j/577505810
Wednesday:
  • 30min Morning run
  • 4pm:  Happy Jack, TBA
Thursday:
  • NOTE: We really want you to do a run on this day. This is important for keeping the running muscles in shape so a switch to running for a warmup or evening run does not cause undue soreness. This scenario happens ever season!
  • Morning run or ski
  • 6pm, Core & Yoga! Zoom Link: uwyo.zoom.us/j/577505810
Friday:
  • 4pm: Happy Jack, TBA
Saturday:
  • We'll do some kind of fun activity!
Sunday:
  • Off!
  • Elite team travels to SOHO

We hope you are all recovered from the Thanksgiving Camp and ready to ROCK on Finals and for those of you going to the race!

This week is different in that it is 100% optional because we want no stress/conflict with your studies. That being said, nothing is better for your brain than going outside for a break! Optional practices are a great time to get some extra attendance points, to get your % up, now is the time!

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