Snow has pretty much melted away everywhere (+5 to +10C today!), but we are fortunate to have excellent skiing at Nakkertok which will allow us to continue our on-snow training which is so essential this time of year. The weather Monday and Tuesday is predicted to be very mild and so, with that in mind, the practice will be skate technique.
Workout:
Warmup 20 minutes warmup in Zone 1-2 (practice various techniques)
Sprints 6x15 seconds with 2 minutes Zone 1 in-between (short loop)
Intervals 6x2 minutes Zone3-4 with equal rest (long loop with hills)
Strength 3x double poling and 3x legs only (flat stadium loop less than 1 minute)
Recovery 40-60 minutes cool down Z1-2 (shortened this to 20 mins and left early - too pooped and also skipped te lunch)
Cost is only $15 for seniors (60+).
Drive is actually quicker and less stressful than GP...
