Marathons
Boston is out. Triffit nailed it: my heart isn't in to it. Last winter I had a blast racing ski marathons in March and I want to repeat that this spring but I want to be better prepared. Coaching de-fits me, because, paradoxically, I don't get much skiing in. So any extra time that I take from my work/family goes to getting in long ski workouts. My kilometerage is not as good as two winters ago, when I was on sabbatical and an assistant coach, but its way better than last winter. Perhaps surprisingly, I also don't follow any training plan, I just wing it, although most sessions I focus on my technique. Fitness is more epiphenomenal.

Nice work. I am quite jealous. That's some serious kilometers on skis.
ReplyDeleteBest word of day: kilometerage. Jeff you are badass on the skis, awesome training!
ReplyDeleteJamie - you're putting the work in for Boston and it will show. I haven't seen too many ski reports from you: It's pretty hard to seriously train in both sports, eh? We'll see who's badass on the 40 on the 40th (I'm pretty sure it won't be me).
ReplyDeleteNow if you could just update your 2009 race schedule --->
