This past week was a “recovery” week of training meaning we did shorter workouts, easier intervals, and a bit more strength. Yesterday we had a soaking wet run around Shelburne Farms (no photos from that) followed by a “gals-only” classic rollerski out to Shelburne Point. Today we wrapped up the week with a long distance classic ski out in the Colchester/Georgia/Milton area. Everyone in the group skied at least 15km with the oldest boys cruising approx 35km. Two of our youngest athletes — Ben Carnahan and Will Solow (ages 13 & 14) each skied a total of 22km which is just awesome! A huge THANK YOU to Monica and Alex John for hosting our BBQ today!
We’ve been lucky to have some guests training with us this week: Hallie Grossman (formerly Woodstock HS, Stratton, and now Bates College) as well as Jack Hegman (MMUHS, MNC, now UVM). Activities this past week included a road bike, classic rollerski + strength, track intervals/ski-walking/running intervals, skate rollerski + strength, running, gals-only classic ski, and today’s long-distance classic ski. Tomorrow a handful of our MNC crew will join GMVS, Frost Mtn and Woodstock athletes for the final summer installment of the Central Vermont Nordic Co-Op Series: a 32km skate rollerski around the Weybridge area!
Here are a few photos from the past several days of training:
