Hello U16/U18,

Another reminder that on June 14 from 6-7pm we will be running a 3000M time trial with Foothills Nordic at the Mini Thni (Morley) track located at the Nakoda Elementary School.

We will have our first team rollerski this week. Now is the time to switch over to rollerski baskets, check the wear on your wheels, and give all the nuts and bolts on your equipment a good look to make sure they’re snug. You can buy rollerski pole tips at Trailsports for $20–make sure to mention you have a CNSC membership to receive 10% off.

Food for thought this week about training physiology from an interview with Dr Stephen Seiler (considered one of the top endurance sport researchers in the world):

Polarized training makes the case that endurance athletes see performance improve when they do most of their training at low intensity. This strategy, coupled with a limited amount of very hard, high-intensity training, creates the optimal conditions for adaptation.

Over more than two decades of research, Dr. Seiler and his colleagues have introduced polarized training to share with us what athletes have learned about physiology and performance, why it works.

In reality, it’s hundreds of hours of training at low intensity, that build a foundation for those red-zone performances that were among the best in the history of the sport. It’s the same story that plays out across a wide variety of endurance sports—cross-country skiing, distance running, triathlon, cycling, and rowing.
