Training 2/5 - DU/CSU Races!

Wow! What an awesomely beautiful weekend of racing - the trails, the weather, and the people! Also, WOW on the women's team! Five of the six podium spots! As well as Kaj for the double podium AND for some incredible finishes by Sean, Austin, Eliot and the rest of the men. Crazy great weekend!

We have officially started our peaking program so things will change at times so pay attention and please don't start new activities. We only have 4 weeks until Nationals so it's time to start concentrating on staying/getting healthy, eating well, resting and focusing your energy where it is needed!

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!)

Even if you are not qualifying for Nationals this will help you with the last couple of races and if you decide to do any other races!​
