April is a rest month for skiers, and for MNC’s official programming as well. In May, we start up with spring training, where athletes can choose 1-, 2-, or 3-day/week options. Those playing spring sports may opt for once per week in order to get in some longer distance days, or rollerski work. Those not playing a spring sport are encouraged to train 3x per week with the club, and mix in other activities on different days of the week.
It’s important to have a gradual return to training (especially running and rollerskiing) rather than jumping into everything all at once. But as May rolls into June, we will be increasing the duration and intensity of certain sessions.
You can check out the MNC spring training page, including registration links, below. Training begins on May 3.
Last April, the team got together for an informal run on Saturdays or Sunday in Jericho. Look for some of those options to pop up on the Junior Training Doc in the coming weeks. For info on adding running back into your schedule on your own, here is a document with a weekly progression and suggestions.
