Early Morning Intervals


Great skiing this morning - last night was nice and cold, so the track firmed up nicely. I took a group down this morning for an interval workout - for various reason, some folks are still focused on threshold, while others are doing the VO2max intervals as planned. People looked pretty sharp today for Day 2 on snow. Jeff was skiing as well as I've ever seen him ski this morning, with a nice snappy tempo up the hills. He's consistently one of our fastest guys in pure speed workouts on rollerskis - if he can build the fitness needed to sustain that speed, we're in business. Another good day. When you're on snow, they're all good days.

It looks so beautiful there! I'm glad you guys got the snow early this year, it looks like the team is having a pretty awesome semester of training so far. I miss everyone (and Maine's fall colors, and the snow!) California is pretty awesome, but its a bit weird running in shorts and a tshirt and sunglasses in December...
Keep up the good work!
