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. 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
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!

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.

 Awesome run! Reminder: UW Nordic COVID-19 Training & Racing Plan 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!

 See the smoke! We manage to run under the very small strip of blue! (Photo credit to Ben Romanjenko) 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!

 Yeah we're cool! Finished the 5km race! This is the last week of our Conditioning/Quadraped and then we'll start moving into Hill Resistance!
This week should be a lot more usual as the weather looks to be great and we can train more consistently. We'll be back to strength outside and go for a lovey run in what might be changing leaves (if they are not dead from the cold last week.) This is also the last week before we have a recovery week and a medal test so get ready for R&R and push to get through this week of training knowing there will be a rest!

It has been an interesting week as our UW athletes have gone to a 'Pause' and the rest of the town is going on as usual!
We will be adjusting slightly to accommodate ALL our skiers here and around the country so pay attention for the changes. We have also been invited to join the UW Nordic Learning Community. Check out the details. Reminder: UW Nordic COVID-19 Training & Racing Plan Check out the National Geographic about the risk for various activities!

 Staying away from that HUGE bull snake! Look closely... 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!
