Randonee Ski Racing Base Training Plan: This is a 12 week preseason training plan for Randonee Ski Racing. It is appropriate for beginners to advanced skiers, but athlete should have basic knowledge of endurance training, some general experience in endurance sports (mountain biking, triathlon, running, etc.), and should have 4 to 8 weeks of consistent unstructured training (running, cycling, etc.) leading up to the start of this program.
The Program focuses on week day training sessions that can be completed indoors and/or outside on foot. For course, those with access to early season snow can do the workouts on skis.
The weekends are designed for longer, outdoor workouts ideally done on skis. However, ulternate modes and indoor training options are presented.
After purchase, your plan will be available in your own private online training log account. You'll enjoy these benefits and more:
