Another good article that gives us a glimpse into the training life of one of our highest performing athletes, Marco Arop. "Arop has emphasized more volume in his workouts and a greater focus on recovery at the rest stage to prevent injury. For example, if he does repeat runs of 1,000, Arop might swim the next day for recovery and follow that with a 20 to 40-minute fartlek a period of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running." https://www.cbc.ca//marco-arop-fall-training-volume-1.5825

Good thing we're all so adaptable in this sport. Things change all the time! :) Saturday new guidelines were released from AHS that allow groups of 10 persons or less to be training outside in a group as a sport. So, while initially this wasn't allowed for sports groups, now, it is. What does this mean for our sport? It means a coach plus 9 athletes can train outside distanced but in a group. For more info here's the link to AHS. https://www.alberta.ca/enhanced-public-healt...h-measures.aspx As always, be in touch if you have any questions.
