The snow has come for 24 hours and then melted again. Specific dryland training a person can do only for so long.
September and October are very important months for heavy duty training both aerobically and for developing strength. Your power to weight ratio will make it easier skiing, so now is the time.
Injuries are something that most of us have to deal with sometime in our athletic life. As we get older some of us think we are still young and we push too hard. Our bodies do not recover nearly as quickly as when we were younger. Older athletes tend not take the time to work into an activity. We try to push through and sometimes it bites us in the butt.
Mental discipline and mental strength are two key areas that the older athlete should be utilizing.
So whatever sport you are doing this winter always push hard but leave something in reserve for the next season and and the next year and the next decade. Be sure that the fun factor remains a key ingredient in your sport!
