Training this week

I hope you all had a great weekend of outdoor activities :-)

For training this week, we will be doing the following:

Tuesday: running, circuit training, running (2:00 =1:00-0:40-0:20)

Wednesday: yoga from 4:00-5:00

Thursday: roller skiing including ABC's and video and specific strength (5 min X 6) for diagonal arms only, skate legs only and double polling.

I am including 2 sample training week so that you can use them as a template to plan your own personal training. You can switch things around to make it work for your schedule. The idea is to plan at the start of each week to make sure you get your training done.

Reminder to let me know when you can't attend team training so that we know who is not coming.

Please fill in the camp attendance sheet as I have to finalyse the Atlin Camp logistics as it will involves some boating on the lake to access some of the day hikes. The camp will include some long and challenging day hikes so make sure you are getting out each weekend to get your hiking legs ready :-)

**Next week, we are hoping to have a blue & green squad triathlon race.
Rollerski/Mt Bike/ Run     

Distances will be for youth/teen distances,  meaning they will be relatively short so everyone can move relatively fast!    Ice cream prizes and draws.   🍦

Maps and full info will be sent out this week once a Mt Bike insurance issue gets figured out.
You will run the courses this Tuesday , so you know where the race course will be for next week.
