The summer months are approaching, and our training groups are assembling with more and more participants! Both the MNC University and MNC Junior squads are starting to heat up.
This week the Juniors hit up their second rollerski of the year, and things were looking great. Often for the first few rollerskis of the year it can feel like a “one step back, then two steps forward” situation. But this season everybody has just picked up right where they left off on snow, and we’re already onto step two without any backtracking.
The heat started to pick up for our Saturday workout, a really productive set of running intervals on Governor Chittenden road. These are popular intervals and we’ve written about them on the blog before. On this day we did just half a mile for each interval, but this session is one we’ll repeat all the way through the fall with incremental growth in both distance and hilliness.
Warming up from Catamount down to Rt 2 for some running intervals
While the Juniors are hard at week in the mornings at school, the MNC University crew gets going at 8:00am sharp. This year the group looks to be almost 20-strong, but things started small this first week with many still finishing up their semester. A small-but-strong crew took on some rollerskiing and running much like the Juniors.
This coming weekend, both groups will convene to run a 3000m together at the MMU track!
Some familiar faces and recent MNC alumni now in MNC University!
