This Week…At a Glance

This week will be a bit different. And I can understand if not all can make, especially, Thursday’s training. We are hoping to do a classic and skate roller skis time trail on Thursday morning (before it gets too hot) at the NE Bikepath – we’ve had them here before. Hopefully this gives everyone plenty of notice to get in touch with those of you with cars in order to carpool (if people don’t have rides to get out there).

This is what’s to come this week:

Monday – Zoom Strength w/Carl

Tuesday – Intensity Training at Carl’s Studio (Sherwood Park)

Wednesday – Middle to Long Distance  

Thursday – am – Rollerski TT at NE Bike path (2 x 5km TT’s)

Friday – Active Rest Day – Optional bike ride or brisk walk

Saturday – am – Gallagher Hill – Ski Striding Potpourri
