2
coaching choices available for
2011/2012
1.
Master Training Group - $850 plus G.S.T -
$892.50
Skiers
joining this program should have a desire to join the
workouts on a regular basis from September 6th through to
March 11 with the ultimate goal of competing in some local
races and local / World loppets. MTG members are guided
through my program towards peaking for the race of their
choice each season with the special 2011 emphasis on the
American Birkie and Canadian Birkie’s. Along with the
regular workouts such as technique, roller skiing, ski
striding and specific strength we will have lots of long
distance ski days.
Also
included in 2011/2012 MTG program is:
1. Two
evening workouts per week falling between Tues - Thurs in
the fall and winter. No more technique Tuesdays so you
never know what the workout may be ! Mixture of skiing, ski
striding, hiking and rollerkskiing sessions with a combo of
distance and intensity based on easy, medium or hard weeks.
2. One workout per weekend with one weekend off per month
to do your own activities and a special 2 day weekend mini
camp per month for September, October, November. On-snow
weekends will consist of long skis, technique sessions and
racing of course.
3.
** New this season ** Two MTG
only video sessions, one in January and one in February at
either COP or Canmore where we will shoot some technique
video of your choice, do an analysis inside on a TV and
then ski again right afterwards. This will allow you to get
some visual feedback during the season and specifically
focus on a certain technique or your choice.
4. First
option and guaranteed spots
for the Silverstar camp and World Loppet trip to the
American Birkie.
5. No extra coaching fees for the annual Lake Louise camp
which this year will be 3 days of skiing if the weather
gods help us out! Also free entry into the Kat scratch
loppets.
6. Anytime access to training and waxing advice via email
when I am away with the Para team.
7. General training plan during the fall and winter that
shows easy, medium and hard weeks, types of workouts, # of
intensity and distance workouts and provides a plan for
peaking for your race of choice.
8. Race waxing support for as many events as I am around
for including Bow Corridor races.
9. Extra workouts as needed to peak for the big races plus
emails with training and nutrition info and skiing news
from around the World.
Pay all at once or divide it up equally upon registration
with MTG and second payment payable by Dec 15
