Pre season skiing training





Well here we are in the fall and getting ready for cross country ski season. I took a couple weeks off to rest after my last race of the bike season and starting yesterday officially started ski season training. we've been doing some hill bounding but it's only twice a week. I started strength training last night and will be doing mostly long slow distance on the roller skis over the next three weeks then on to more threshold based work on the roller skis. I would really like to be on the roller skis 5 days a week if possible and two strength workouts a week. We'll see if I can fit it all in.

We had a Surprising snow this week it's all melted off but the temps and snow are unusual for this time of year. I am hoping this means we'll have good snow this year all year.
