Starting in November, CXC Academy adds the American Birkebeiner and High School training plans to its roster of the Novice, Intermediate and Advanced level training plans!
TRAINING PERIOD DATES - November 5 - December 2
It’s go time. Winter is either here or on its way, so try and find some
snow. The training continues to ramp up, - add more race pace workouts
in an effort to make the final fitness push. The best way to learn ski
technique is on skis, so get on them early and often! By period 8, you
should be confident in your training, so trust it and get ready for
winter!
NEW IN VIDEO ROOM:
Technique: V1 One-Pole Drill - developing a strong poling motion
Technique: The 6 Movements of Classic Skiing - major movement patterns that should get the most attention
General Interest: Double Pole Technique Changes in Recent Years - highlights from the 2012 CXC Coaches Conference
STRENGTH TRAINING OVERVIEW:
It’s time for some ski specificity. All the movements in period 8 have a
direct correlation to skiing. They are meant to be quick, powerful, and
snappy much like skiing. Core strength becomes more of an emphasis,
because it can help to keep proper ski technique throughout race
efforts. More than ever, proper technique becomes crucial. Do your
exercises in front of a mirror and try and feel yourself using the same
motions you do on the ski trails.
