September 10-17 Junior Devo 2017-18 Kickoff



Ready to start thinking about skiing?  Loving the fall weather?

Welcome to the Junior Devo Blog.  I will be updating this blog weekly for training plans and any changes to training locations as they come up!

A typical week in September will look like this:

Monday- off or fun sports with friends
Tuesday - Cardio 20' (can be warm up and cool down) and Strength 15'
Wednesday - Team Training - here is where we can do technique, intensity and then have fun! 2hrs
Thursday - Cardio 20' and Strength +Core 20'
Friday - off or fun sports with friends
Saturday - Team Training (technique, speed, agility, strength/core/stretch) and fun! 3 hrs
Sunday - Long Slow Day - distance hike or run 1hr

You can interchange days with other sports you are doing at school, in your community etc. Keep active in school sports!  And I will send updates for local races, events or ideas for training.

Apart from regular workout clothes (bring layers), please ALWAYS bring water and a snack to training.
In the fall we will need Nordic hiking/bounding poles. These are poles about 10cm shorter than your classic poles. FIS rules are that classic poles are only 83% of the skiers height WITH boots on, from tip to where the strap comes out of the handle. So parents may have some measuring to do with growing kids - enjoy!  We have a few pairs of poles in the house to get us started so don't worry too much. The October 20-21 swap is right around the corner!

I will post our week plans generally on Sundays.

This weekend:
Saturday- orientation & workout 11:30-12:30 followed by a quick team meeting until 1pm.
                  At 1pm there is a general meeting (this is for parents but kids can attend) but I think we
                  can organize a wicked game of capture the flag during the parent meeting!
Saturday- potluck at my house 22 Cathedral Pines for ALL team hardwood families- Jr, Prov, Jr Nat'l
                  and Sr Nat'l.

Sunday - I will be participating in the Terry Fox Run in Sugarbush. Register at 1:30pm and Run at
                2pm. Come if you can!
                 Sweet water park - 6th line park off horseshoe valley road.

Here is a little look at some dryland techniques. https://youtu.be/xRtDmXoRrM0
