Mountain Sprints Club

September 4th, 2011
Team Kananaskis Mountains Kevin Jagger Long Track Long Shot Speed Skating Amateur Athlete Canada Blog

Saturday called for another day hike in Kananaskis Country. To switch things up from hiking Pocaterra Ridge the past two weeks (videos here and here) we went a little deeper in and hiked Mist Creek. 

Near the summit we decided to stop and do a couple hill sprints - the footing was tricky and the incline made it a little more difficult but was fun nonetheless.

"Today is about character. We set a precedent for how we want to train for the remainder of the summer", Brock told me as we hit the hills.

The normal protocol for Hill Sprints Club is 8 seconds on, 2:52 rest. It takes a couple of ...

Sponsor Me Spring - Hill Sprints Club

From Baby-Q's to bocce there is nothing too small or quai ...
