Get to Know the Website Navigation, Find Training Plans and Video Extras
1. Initial visitors to CXC Academy will find various ways to explore: we suggest starting with a Yearly Overview which provides a strong representation on how a training plan should be structured out throughout the year.
2. Check out available downloads specifically designed to guide you through the process of determining yearly training volume, training intensity levels and overall fitness level - all based on varied training background, individual strengths and weaknesses as well as total available time.
3. The year will be broken into four week periods starting each week on a Monday and concluding on Sunday. Therefore there will be 13 periods with 28 days in each period. Each new period will be published one day prior to the actual date the period begins.
4. To access a Training Period select from the table of published periods to go to its page. From there you can find everything the period offers: training plan samples, materials to download, videos as well as helpful communication links to keep in touch with our support team on topics such as training, recovery, nutrition, technique, waxing and so forth.
5. To start learning about the period simply progress through available tabs beginning with the Period Overview. The way you progress through the tabs in the training period replicates much of what you’ve seen before and after login. Training plan samples can be found under the Period Overview Tab.
Video Extras Tab
The Extras Tab is the last tab on the page. All the videos are particular to that period. If you want to watch videos from any of the previous training periods, select the library link you want from “Video Libraries” found to the right of the player.
Play Full Screen
Get the big picture by toggling video extras into full-screen mode. Or browse and skim through clips using the Thumbnail Navigator view.
Always Something New
With each period we will be adding something new, depending on the time of year the training period falls into. There will be new training week samples, expert interviews, videos on waxing, technique and more.
“I’m 49 years old, ski the Birkie in 3 hrs 50 min without really training and would love to make the most out of my training and step it up a notch. I think this is a great service, especially for someone in the Banana Belt without a lot of other skiers around.” Birkie skier from IL
“Thank you very much for your help!!!! I am in the Army, and am now stationed in northern France. I grew up cross country skiing and raced in college, so I am comfortable on skis. Challenge is that I will not be able to get any snow time before the race. CXC Academy program will get me as ready as I can be without any snow time.” HL, France
