NEXT WEEK

I encourage the athletes to consider a “double-session” on Tuesday of this week: train at the Range in the morning then run at Catamount in the evening. Once in a while it is a great physical and mental challenge to do 2 tough workouts in the same day, just like the US Ski Team and World Cuppers do!!

Tuesday 7/8 (AM Session): Classic skiing plus double-pole, as well as strength and continuous bounding (25/30′) at the Range. 8:30-10:30am.
Tuesday 7/8 (double session?!): Catamount Tuesday night running race: 5km and 10km options this week.
Wednesday 7/9 (Bonus): Training dependent on interest: location and mode of training based on who can attend. Morning session?
Thursday 7/10 (AM Session): Classic skiiing with double-pole plus strength, plyos and legspeeds at the Range.
Thursday 7/10 (PM Bonus): Skate rollerski with Garrott Kuzzy at Charlotte Beach. 5:30-7:30pm.
Friday 7/11 (Bonus): Tentative “downtown distance run” starting at Burlington High School. ~9 mile loop will incorporate the bike path and trails in the North End of Burlington.
Saturday 7/12: Bolton vertical day!! Classic rollerski up the access road, then hike to the summit of the mountain (1-2 times??!!?). After the workout we can jump in the Bolton Kettles. 10:00am – 12:45pm.
