Hello Team,

The rain last week has helped our local air quality, but we are not out of the woods yet.  Lots of fires still burning over in BC.  Be patient and check the air quality before you head out for on your own training. Typically it is better in the morning.

Thank you Megan Dunn for volunteering to support this Thursday’s adventure. 

Training this week:

Monday(17)
Rundle/Cascade
9:00-11:00 On foot agility first, then strength in the gym. Meet in front of the BWTC

Tuesday(18)
Grotto/Rundle/Cascade
9:00-11:00 Skate roller ski. Sprints and technique. Meet at the teamroom.

Wednesday(19)
Grotto/Rundle/Cascade
9:00-10:30 Ski striding intensity. Remember, ideal ski striding poles are 80% of your height, but your classic poles are better than nothing. We will open it up a bit today hitting some Z6 and lots of technique.

4:30-5:30 Cascade Strength with Chelsea.

Thursday(20)
Grotto/Rundle/Cascade
8:00-12:00 Classic rollerski to Banff Springs Golf Course, Run back to CNC via the Rundle Riverside Trail. Pick up at the teamroom. We are starting a bit earlier to beet the traffic on the Legacy trail.

U18 will meet at Travel Alberta at 8am. Put your running shoes into the parent volunteer vehicle.

U16 will meet at the Day Use Area 10 km down the Legacy Trail at 8:15.  This allows for a more appropriate distance for younger athletes. Please swing by Travel Alberta on your way out of town to drop off your running shoes.

Everyone will transition from Classic Rollerski equipment to running shoes at the start of the Rundle Riverside Trail. We will refill water here, have another snack, and run 14km back to the teamroom at the Nordic Centre. Our best estimation for the total adventure is 4 hours.  Pack appropriately (rain jacket, 3+ bars, 1L water, then refill).
