Cross - Country Skiing - In-Season - Intermediate 12 week

Hey! Do you love cross-country skiing and want to get better at it? Maybe you are even looking to enter a ski race or a ski marathon?
Structure
This is a 12 week program for intermediate / competitive skier with a focus on strengthening muscles used in Nordic Skiing, building up your aerobic base and adding some effective interval training elements for time-crunched weekend warriors!
This is a training plan for you who can, at start ski 60mins. You will train 5-8 hours a week and have access to a weight training facility.
Every third week is a recovery week, which means you are allowing your body to recover from the hard work you've done in the last two weeks. Please take the recovery week seriously, and do listen to your body! If you feel drained, take it easy!
This plan builds in the blocks of three weeks, which means every two-three weeks, the plan increases in volume and/or intensity. If you feel not ready for a hard session, rather than dropping the workout, do it easier. This means, drop the intensity and just go easy and slow, staying within Zones 1 & 2 if you are using a heart rate monitor.
One way to modify the plan to fit your goals/fitness levels is to cut it into 8 weeks and then keep repeating the weeks 5-8 until you are ready to move on with weeks 9-12.
I have included a short taper week at the end of the plan for you who are using this plan as preparation for a Birkie or other X-country ski race.
When to start?
Start this plan end of November if you are aiming for the mid-February race.
