WISTE = Warmup, Intervals, Strength, Technique, Endurance.
Saturday XCCM sessions involve a warm-up, intervals, strength exercises, and technique improvement, ending up with a ski and warm down. The training regime is designed to train skiers to peak for their chosen race at the Gatineau Loppet and/or other loppets. From January through to the end of February, interval sessions will increase. After the Gatineau Loppet, the training focus is on maintaining fitness and technique improvement. The program alternates weekly between skate and classic, but may change depending on snow conditions. Sessions later in March could involve crust skiing, orienteering, or other activities depending on conditions. Some skiers convene after practices at the XCCM “Clubhouse”, Les Saisons.
