Two weeks ago was an “intensity week” which included the hardest bounding workout of the year (pics below). This past week included easier training and some fun training to allow the athletes to recovery from the physical load. We did some games and relays which serve as a bit of a mental break, as well. At this time of year, rollerskiing isn’t always fun since some of them have been doing it since May or early June. We also worked a lot on no-pole skate skiing which helps with balance and improves leg strength.
