ADVENTURE RACING SKILLS COURSES
Preparing for Adventure Racing is much more
than navigation and strategy. To take your AR to the next
level, it is important to have the skills to keep you and your team moving
and to stay in the race.
We offer Adventure Racing Skills courses to help
complete your AR Training, from discipline-specific courses like
paddling, ropes and bike training, to Wilderness First Aid training
to keep you and your team safe. Our AR Skills course instructors are
dedicated to Adventure Racing, with years of experience either as
competitors or as race staff, and will provide the
tools you need to hone your skills.
We have many courses under development, and will be announced shortly!

Conditioning Coach and adventure racer.
1.
Conditioning for Adventure Racing (90 minute
lecture)
No matter what
your racing experience, you will take away valuable
information about how to plan your training year to
efficiently maximize your sport-specific fitness
while avoiding injuries and over training. This
seminar will be predominately lecture format with
opportunity for discussion and use of exercise
equipment. We will first discuss how to be realistic
in setting goals. Then, you will learn the basics of
training progression and variation (periodization),
and how to best build your training program. The
role of resistance training is misunderstood by most
endurance athletes. We will show adventure racing
specific exercises using tubing, dumbbells and
stability balls. Nutrition, rest and recovery are
neglected to the detriment of performance; you will
learn the tricks to optimizing recovery time through
proper eating and well-timed rest. At the end of the
seminar, you will have the tools to design a program
for yourself based on proven principles.

This seminar
will expand upon the topics from Basic
Conditioning for Adventure Racing. Periodization
will be further explored and refined. You will learn
how to organize your training week, even when time
is tight, to maximize training adaptation while
minimizing recovery time. Heart rate training can be
a valuable tool with the right knowledge; but it can
be misleading too. You will learn how to interpret
your heart rate and exertion level so that you work
in the proper training zone to develop adventure
racing specific fitness. We will also discuss
training errors that can sabotage your efforts. By
the end of the seminar, you will have the ability to
