Winter Big Day Training

I have to admit that the past few years I've been envious of the Northern athletes that spent the off-season cross training by doing winter sports.  After our move to Boise, the Shilt household has been anxiously awaiting the first big snowfall to hit Bogus Basin.  Fortunately, we haven't been disappointed.  I was able to have my first Winter Big Day Training that included an hour swim, hour run, then 2 hours of skate skiing...well sort of.   Fortunately Erin was kind enough to circle back and give me a few tips & there were a few brief moments of Eureka! Needless to say, I don't think anyone attending Liberec in a month has anything to worry about.

A couple of things you might be interested in.

The first is that Gordo has re-invented his website.  The new site, Endurance Corner, is comprised of two components.  The basic platform, free to all, is comprised of all the articles and blogposts that he has authored over the past 10 years.  Also included are Alan Couzens's insightful blogs and the podcasts that Gordo and Justin Daerr have put together.  

There is a subscription component as well.  This will include unlimited access to Gordo and the rest of the Endurance Corner team on his forum and a customized coaching plan.

The final note is about the last few remaining spots at our spring training camp in Tucson.  The training was outstanding last year and you can expect the same this year.  Unique this year will be daily lectures and case reports on Medicine and Endurance Sports.  For those in the health care field, you may be able to deduct a portion of the camp as a business expense.  (Of course, you should consult with your tax professional for your particular situation before making any tax or legal decisions!!!).  For those in the coaching business, there will be USAT coaching credits available as well.

I hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the new year as much as we are.
