I'm fired up about this year's competition and training plan. We had a great first meeting and I'll do my part by sharing some great nutrition, conditioning and fitness tips and tricks between now and our event.
Please select a 10k running or cycling endurance plan to get you that critical 60 minutes of sustained effort by the time we hit our event in January some 92 days away. This is the perfect time to start on this program and you should plan to spend 30 - 40 minutes at level 2 or 3 effort most days of the week for the first few weeks and ramp up as we go. Aerobic conditioning and specific strength training are our focus areas
Some useful links:
coolrunning - Look in the training section for a 10k race traning plan. Choose a beginner plan if you haven't run this distance before or its been a while. Choose intermediate if you are a current 5k or longer athlete.
Weston Ski Track - Plan on a lesson or just get a good workout. Let the team know if/when you are going and you might get lucky and have a training buddy some weekend or evening. Yes they have night hours and lights! Lets hope its cold early so they can make some snow. Planned opening is the first week of December.
By committing to a training plan and preparing for the Biathlon, you are an athlete in training. Please consider how you will educate yourself, eat wisely, train hard, remain healthy and have fun. I look forward to working and playing with the team in the comming months.
