We were fortunate enough to have excellent weather for all sessions during our first week of Junior training! We got in a nice trail run at Mud Pond on Tuesday, followed-up by some soccer and pushups. On Thursday we ran a bit more and worked on foot drills before tackling an agility course at WCS, and on Saturday the hills behind Cochran’s were explored before some snow-sliding on the slopes and strength in Richmond. For a special Sunday session, a few of us got to tackle Bolton Valley on the Nordic boards as we skate skied UP to the top of the mountain (with the thrills of the trip down on the skinny skis too, of course)!
Kai and Will skating UP the DOWNHILL area at Bolton on Sunday (ignore the incorrect date on the camera, this was April 19th!)
Junior training this week will continue to be on foot for the most part as we continue to build some basic running comfort, general strength work and fun challenges.
Week type: Easy/Transition
Suggested additional workouts: Shorter runs (35-45 minutes, easy pace), general strength and core (pushups, dips, planks, etc), general fitness through HS spring sports
Tuesday 4/21 9AM-1030AM: Running with some basic and non-timed intervals at Honey Hollow Rd. Part paved road/part dirt road running. Expect to get a bit muddy given the road and the forecast. If you have them accessible, please BRING SHORTER/BOUNDING POLES for this session. Meet at the small gravel lot at the Jonesville bridge (intersection of Cochran Road and Rt 2): MAP
Thursday 4/23 9AM-10AM: Running warm-up and foot drills followed by some general strength with a variety of tools: MedBalls, TRX, Ab-Wheel and more…if you have a favorite training gadget bring it along! Meet at Essex High School track: MAP
Saturday 4/25 10AM-1PM: Hike up Camel’s Hump via the Burrow’s Trail. Parents, Masters and BKL kids up for the journey are welcome to join! Meet at Brewster Pierce school parking lot at 10AM. We will carpool up to the mountain lot if necessary in order to make sure there is parking space at the trailhead. Planning to grab a pizza or two (depending on #s) afterward in Richmond. MAP
