I’d like to say a BIG thank you to Lee Borowski for taking the time to nominate me and write this wonderful article. I’d also like to thank Lee for all of the help he gave me as a developing high school athlete, and for everything else he has done for the cross-country ski community in Southern Wisconsin. Thank You Lee!
We’re back! The 2009-2010 training year is underway and Bryan, Gus and I just got back from CXC Elite team training camp #1 in Hayward, WI. The week was full of fitness testing and evaluations, including the 3000m run, VO2max testing, the strength test, and individual and team meetings. Bryan and I left the camp a few days early for me to tie up some loose ends at school and to see Tanya Cook’s graduation from NMU.
I took most of the month of April completely off of training. I started working at the Upfront and Co. again, and I slept more than I ever have in my life. I am finely feeling rested and I am eager to start training. May is a fun month because the weather gets nice and there is some freedom to do what you want.
I have organized my calendar for the year and Bryan and I are looking to do some more ski clinics. If you or someone you know is interested please e-mail info@xcskialliance.com. We do clinics for groups of all ages and ability levels. You can read about some of last year’s clinics by clicking HERE.
I am currently one elective credit away from receiving my master’s degree in exercise science and I am excited to do more with my endurance-based personal training business, Alliance Training this year. I had some great results with this program last year and I already have a couple of clients lined up for the 2009-2010 training year. If you are one of the many people out there without a coach, or if you are interested in taking your training to another level, please check out my brochure and contact me directly at mariastuber@xcskialliance.com. Pricing is very negotiable.
