Hey for anyone in the Crabbe Mountain Race club, fall dryland will start next Sunday. That is September 8th. There will be an email going out very soon with the details. Keep your eyes out for it.



This fall we are really organized and have a great plan to help you athletes become the very best you can be. You have to do the work, but we will give you the tools to do it.



We will work on not only fitness and conditioning, but flexibility and some mental training skills as well.



So be ready, next Sunday September 8th 2013 we start the next ski season.



You have all heard this from me before, fitness and conditioning are the great equalizers. No matter where we live in Canada, we have the same opportunity to be at the same fitness level. Or better, if others do not do the work. With improved fitness, we can ski and train on snow longer, having a better training effect. A training effect is when each run is worthwhile and the athlete can get something from it. In our case, I would say our best athletes have had about 3-5 runs a day that they were actually getting a training effect. I would like to see that get to 5-7 runs. 5 runs a day where we as coaches can help you the athlete be better. FASTER.

 

Fitness and conditioning are only the first part of narrowing the gap. We need to eat right, sleep right, get the best of our recovery time, and have the athlete’s brains in the right place at the right time. The athletes need to have as much experience as possible in order to draw from when certain situations present themselves on the race track.

 

So let’s get this season started….
