High Performance Athletes' Blog

• Do you enjoy reading event / training blogs?

There are lot to learn from these young athletes. Their knowledge, dedication, focus and ability to stay motivated can be contagious, so read on.

• Michael Svoboda:
• Bolog: https://road2thefinish.wordpress.com/
• Training: https://attackpoint.org/log.jsp/user_11606

Many people were impressed with Michael's presentation at the AOA Retreat. He is very detail oriented and focused on navigation techniques. I believe he has some big plans for the upcoming JWOC In Hungary. I bet we can benefit a lot from his training logs. He is currently in his first year of Engineering at the U of C. 

• Damian Konotopez

Damian is from Manitoba (he is still their athlete) but we are lucky to have him supporting the FWOC adult program with his coaching clinics. He is very dedicated to training. Just checked his log - he ran over 100km in the past week as winter preparation for staying in shape. 400km in the past month.

From Emma's blog, you can pick up some strength training ideas and see how mixing up workouts and cross training can contribute to staying in shape. Emma is a student at UBC and uses GVOC events to stay sharp with Navigation.
