YAY! Enjoy the nice weather, do some crust skiing, have FUN!!!
What you should be focusing on at this point is FUN and recovery! You should basically only be doing activities that sound fun to you or are eustress (help you in your recovery like yoga, walks, stretching, rolling, etc.) We will core & yoga again this week, to help with that eustress and start to rebuild our opposing muscle groups. Team Training: Tuesday: 6pm Zoom Core & Yoga Thursday: 6pm Zoom Core & Yoga PLAY PLAY PLAY!!! YAY! Enjoy the nice weather, do some crust skiing, have FUN!!!

It's completely up to you what you choose but if you'd like some chill times then join us! Team Training: Tuesday: 6pm Zoom Yoga Thursday: 6pm Zoom Yoga PLAY PLAY PLAY!!! Wow! What an crazy season of ski racing! We had more challenges than any of us would ever imagine but we made it through and now we are moving into one of my favorite seasons - CRUST SKIING!
This is a great time of the year to really focus in on not only recovering the body, but also recovering the mind. So look at the activities that you enjoy to do and get out there and do those. Start to blend in multiple activities whether it be casual paddling (Canoe or Kayak), easy mountain biking, easy road biking, disc golf, regular golf while walking the course, hiking, rock climbing, Back Country or Alpine Skiing, backpacking, salsa dancing, swimming, snorkling, surfing, ice skating, fly fishing, etc. Do not worry about any specific training, just have fun enjoying different activities while you are regenerating from the past year's training. We will be starting over with a new training year in the next couple of weeks. See you then! Dragons Slain and serious R & R are needed! 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
This coming weekend we'll be doing something a little different, with the Elite Team headed to SOHO. Training for Week: Monday:

SLAY THE DRAGON!!! Running a tad behind on posting this but we're good now!
Awesome race weekend! Congrats to Maddy for the double win and Kaj for the 7.5k win and the sprint 2nd by a toe! We don't have a race this weekend so we'll be doing a mini volume week! Yay! This means little speed and lots of OD for the week. Please try to find some additional ski/run/etc training this week! Monday:
Awesome weekend of racing and adventure! Everything was beautiful - place, course, people. It was a magical weekend.
We are not going to turn it around for Crested Butte! We are excited to do a 10 or 20km skate race on Saturday & a fun sprint race with Western on Sunday. Should be great fun! Monday:

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! Group training is in Red Monday: Off
WooHoo!
Despite all the challenges we faced we managed to have a VERY good Thanksgiving Camp capped off by an AWESOME Talent Show! We thank you all for your engagement and excitement throughout the week! After 20+ hours of training last week we will have a chill, recovery week planned. Group training is in Red Monday: Off
We are changing up our strength to more specific as we move into the season. We would usually do this workout on skis so rollerskis will have to do!
We are done! If you want to go back to some of the topics here you go:
We will be having a virtual Thanksgiving Camp through this week! Great way to end the week of training - with a magical ski in the Snowies!
This is the time of year you need to especially watch for changes as we hope for snow and skiing. Monday: Off
We will have two options for strength on Tuesday & Thursday. If you want a little more time for strength OR need time to get home/grab Washakie dinner before Zoom Core & Yoga. The times listed are when the team dynamic warmup will happen so you wan to either do a run before this or start with this, you need to warmup your body properly for full benefit from the workout!
Great start to the Anaerobic Training! Good week of training and some phenomenal raking getting done.
For this week get out there and do your snow dance so we can start skiing! Please watch for changes in time this week - Daylight savings time has wrecked our schedule! Monday: Off

Yay for fresh snow and the Speed Camp scheduled for this week. One thing to note is that if we have good snow this week we will do a ski camp INSTEAD of a speed camp. This will allow us to get our minimum number of skis in before we start speed on skis. That's great because it gives us a jump on the ski season! WooHoo!
For this week we will first be doing a recovery block, so we are all ready for the weekend! Be sure to watch for updates and changes. Note about this training below. The workouts we have on the schedule are not all team practice BUT if you want to be at your best for the ski season they are super important! Team workouts are in RED. Here is the training for this week: Monday: Off
SLAY THE DRAGON!!!! Yay! We got through an entire week of training, with no smoke issues! It looks like the Mullen fire might be burning down a tad, great for our training!
This week we'll still be doing Hill Resistance BUT we're going to do it in a different way. Just suffice it to say you'll want to be at practice on Wednesday ;-) Note about this training below.

It was an alternately fun and tough week of practice. We got the Hill Resistance, Rollerski, and the run/trailwork done but weren't able to do either of our strength routines outside due to smoke. We are lucky we got what we did though!
This week will be much the same as last with a small change in time, we'll have a super fun Saturday activity, and hopefully we'll get to do strength! Note about this training below.

Great week of recovery and now we hope we are ready to RAGE!
This week a lot will be changing! We are headed into the next section of training, Hill Resistance and we'll change up our strength! We finally will get to let the dogs out of the kennel! We will be starting our speed for the fall this week with our first Hill Resistance workout! As we add more load, in the form of speed, we will lesson our OD load. Moving into what my old coach used to call, "Short & Sweet". Shorter workouts but harder!

Reminder that this week will marks our change to Conditioning/Quadraped portion of the year. We will still be doing OD BUT we will be adding poles, to help our bodies adjust to the added load of upper body work. If you don't have short poles, you want your lower arms parallel to the ground and not much more angled for these. They are SHORT and that's alright!

WooHoo! Looks like we are on track to get started with our fall team training!
We're excited to see everyone who has returned and we will still be working with everyone at a distance, those on the UW team, alumns, and great friends! This week will mark our first change in training since June as we move into the Conditioning/Quadraped portion of the year. We will still be doing OD BUT we will be adding poles, to help our bodies adjust to the added load of upper body work. If you don't have short poles, you want your lower arms parallel to the ground and not much more angled for these. They are SHORT and that's alright! If you don't have any let coaches know and we'll see what we can find. This is also the first time many of you will be around the rest of the team so we would like you to read the UW Nordic COVID-19 Training & Racing Plan We really need to try to do our part for the community & to keep it from running through our team. There is growing evidence that there can be lasting impacts on your lungs. This could be a season or even a career ending disease for Nordic skiers so please take care of your teammates and wear your masks, wash your hands, and practice good social distancing. With that said we are super lucky because we do a sport that is inherently perfect for COVID-19, we train outside, at elevation, in the sun, our equipment generally keeps us 6ft apart! We just need to stay vigilante! Check out the National Geographic about the risk for various activities! We can keep doing our sport to keep our brains, bodies, and emotions on the right path!
