Good day team,
We sometimes get caught up in strength, core and cardio training and forget about being responsive and agile. This week lets work in a few drills to keep us sharp on our feet. The downhill sections and turns require a bit of fast foot work to hop around the snow banking and should you find yourself in a traditional track, may need to bounce out quickly.
The old "fire feet" basketball exercise, front, back, left right, is a quick workout that will leave you panting so do it after a warmup but not after your anchor workout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-8aoQsmKjk remember nose, knees toes and an athletic posture.
Alternatives include ladder drills like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KYJX0Wt6OdM
For a full workout, try this batch of agility and polymetric drills http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2rkExDQq8P0
For more examples, try searching youtube for ladder drills, agility training, fast feet, etc.
Train well,
Jeff
