This past week of training was a tough one! We kicked things off on Tuesday at the UVM Research Forest in Jericho for a sustained bounding workout. The sun was shining but there was a chill in the air and lots of leaves on the ground. Bounding is a great workout because it is so similar to skiing; it uses more muscles than just running. Thursday we did some specific strength on a dreary afternoon at Mud Pond. And this morning we hosted another Central Vermont Coop Series event at Bolton. In spite of several inches of snow, approx 25 athletes ran up the mountain! Hopefully more photos coming from that – my phone died. The conditions probably slowed the course down by 1-3 minutes, so we can’t really compare today’s times to times from September. It was a great morning with lots of excitement for winter and a wide variety of athletes and age groups — from age 11 to 50+.
I have yet to receive any notification from the National Guard regarding usage of the Range, so we are still using alternate training venues again this week. Athletes should wear bright clothing when we rollerski on the roads. It is getting darker and colder in the evenngs, so please be prepared with proper attire!
As always, bring running sneakers and a watch to every training session!
This coming week is a RECOVERY week:
Followed by a VOLUME week:
It gets dark an hour earlier so wear bright clothing and bring headlamps and/or bike lights to training!
Another BK Fall Friday session. This time on a cold day with Mt Mansfield covered in some strange white substance….Yes ski season is almost here! Here are a few pics of the MNC BK kids, coaches and parents. While the kids were off having fun MNC JR coach Tim Weston worked with some of the MNC coaches and parent volunteers providing excellent insight on the When, Why and How to coach young kids. Thanks to special guest coaches from the Jr Team; Bill and Henry Harmeyer, Ban Carnahan, Ethan John, and Abby Grab.
Next Friday – Wear a halloween costume!
There will be an induction ceremony on Saturday 10/26/13. Please visit the VSSM website for more information. http://www.vtssm.com/
