One and a half years to the winter Olympics but the CVTC team already is spending a lot of time at the venue. Today, bounding the A-climb on the classic course.
So far the Sea to Sky region keeps providing us with great weather, often above +30. The CVTC team just ended a recovery week with less hours but still two intensity workouts. Starting out from the cross country stadium continuing up the A-climb on the classic course gives the athletes a 6 min climb in zone 3. Repeat 4 times, and there you have a good workout.
Up next for the CVTC team is a test week with a double pole / no pole test, uphill time trial and a Vo2 Max test.

What is that breathing tube that Thomsen has in his mouth in one of the pics? It kind of looks like a VO2 testing mouthpiece but where is the machine attached to it? I’ve seen similar looking product that is supposed to do all this amazing cardiovascular condition…is that what it is?
