Juniors: Training 12/17 – 12/23

By Adam Terko on 17 December, 2012 in Junior Blog

First off, awesome job to everyone at the Eastern Cups. These are some of the most competitive races in the country – and surely have the most depth aside from National Championships. If you kicked butt — great; if you feel like you were too far down the results just keep it in perspective: former Olympians, NCAA Champions, Junior National Champs and more.

This is a recovery week! Note the shorter training sessions on Tuesday/Thursday. Sunday location is TBD.

Tuesday, 4:00 – 5:30pm at the Range. Easy skate ski and games (bring running attire).
Thursday, 4:00 – 5:45pm at the Range. Classic ski with fartlek intervals and specific strength (bring running attire).
Sunday, 9:00 – 11:00am at TBD. Skiing with long, moderate intensity.

MNC fund raising effort to purchase generator

By Adam Terko on 14 December, 2012 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

The club is seeking donations to help purchase a portable generator that can be used at the wax tent for BK, Junior and Masters events. The Honda generator is capable of running wax irons allowing us to help athletes with both glide and kick waxing at important events. Parent volunteer Don Harmeyer checked out the options and selected the Honda EU200i. He has also contacted a local business that will match the best price available (approx. $1000.00) If you would like to donate please send a check to MNC C/O Rick Costanza 24 White Pine Rd, Fairfax, VT 05454. Thanks!

Juniors: Training this week 12/3 – 12/9

By Adam Terko on 2 December, 2012 in Junior Blog

This week is going to be a rodeo with crazy weather combined with the fact that they started blowing snow at the Range last week. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that we can rollerski safely and effectively. With that said, please be prepared for the possibility of having to do our workouts as running/bounding on Tuesday/Thursday.

Tuesday, 4:00 – 5:45 at the Range. Skate rollerski with high-intensity.
Thursday, 4:00 – 5:45 at the Range. Classic rollerski with high-intensity.
Sunday: location TBA. Race (Lake Placid – 5km/10km free) or time-trial (Craftsbury).
