Chris Cook- Recovery Week



Northside Update 2

Another training week in the books… After a couple large volume weeks of hours totaling more than 20, I got a good sized recovery week in. With the training volume down I was able to get out on the boat and do some waterskiing and the woods of Wisconsin actually offered up some warm sunny weather which was outstanding. Got through another week of moto camps and had the campers extremely sore after a solid core strength workout. Each and every one of them had trouble sitting and twisting the next day, which means the workout was a complete success. I have a weekend free of mountain bike racing and rollerski camps so I will most likely get a nice long ride in on the road bike.

A fellow teammate of mine and friend, Garrott Kuzzy, was coming through town yesterday so we hooked up for a nice interval /speed session. We knocked out 3 sets of 6x30seconds on skate rollerskis. The workout intensity was supposed to be a little more controlled but Kuzzy and I were pretty much pinning it for the last set. All in all it was a great workout and good to get an intensity workout with Kuzzy, where we could push each other head to head.

After the weekend training should hit the off day on Monday and knock off a 21 hour medium volume week. Back to business as usual.

Play hard, Train Harder.
