Amazing Skate Technique
Per Eloffson from Sweden. He was one of the best in the world back approx 12 years ago.
Amazing skate technique – very fluid and efficient. No wasted motion, great balance, strong crunch, etc, etc!
Junior Photos and recap
First we’ll start with a video made by Bill Harmeyer:

What an awesome week, once again! Training at the Range has been really positive for the entire group.Tuesday after the cold snowy weather we were forced to improvise a bounding / running and strength workout at the Range and we had a visit from Ethan Townsend the Head Nordic Coach at St Lawrence University.
On Thursday we took everybody around the “S turns” which is the farthest out loop. Everybody skied the hills 2-3 times and became more comfortable with the challenging terrain. Our fall and pre-season athletes are now familiar with all 5 loops (total of 5km) of pavement at the Range which will really make training fun next summer! On Thursday the everybody in the group skied at least 15km with some breaking the 20km mark — not too shabby for a school night!
Friday was a small group for our heart-rate zone analysis test that we do every few weeks: running specific paces on the track (low- to medium-intensity) and we monitor heart rates and hope to see them decrease over time. A chilly night but fun running with a near full moon.
Today we had a great crew of about 12 MNC athletes wake up early (and lots of parents, too — THANKS PARENTS!) to drive down to the Mad River Valley for the final fall event of the Central Vermont Coop Series — 5km and 10km rollerski time trials. It was GORGEOUS! The boys field was wicked competitive with 2 former junior national champs participating. Lots of fun, lots of parents and siblings spectating, and the Rand family made some incredible awards for all participants: delicious cinnamon buns.
Enjoy the pics!
