Pay attention to Martin Fourcade at 3:07 into the video. Note his incredible turnover and just how low he gets as he accelerates away from his competitors. Now THAT is how the fast feet drill should look!! Fourcade is clearly world class.

Photo Roundup from the past week
Whew! Our “recovery week” flew by…
Everyone seemed really tired – mentally and physically – by the end of last week (which was a “volume week” which means is was oriented around longer workouts at lower- to moderate-intensity). So it was great timing to have an easier week of training with shorter workouts and less tiresome workouts.
This morning we had approx 6 of our MNC athletes and several parents make the trek down to Waitsfield for a Central VT Co-op rollerski race. It was a really challenging course along East Warren Rd and finishing up a ~1,000m climb up. The scenery was beautiful and the views downt here are hard to beat.
