Hardcore early morning training....

A group of people started doing early morning training at 7am 3 days a week Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the lead up to the beginning of the season here with the Tirol pass going on sale on the 1st October!! The idea of the training is to get strong and fit for snowboarding/ skiing again, doing circuits etc, working on our core/ legs/ strength basically working the whole body in different sessions!! Joe has been an awesome motivator and we've done some really good sessions and I've been writing down everything we've done each session for future reference!! Lucky I happened to see them one morning when I was heading for an early skate at the bowl and got invited to join them :) We've definitely worked super hard and am feeling the benefits feeling stronger/ fitter and faster than I've ever felt going into a season. Taking 4 months off snowboarding and having a summer has definitely been the best thing I could have done doing various other sports/ activities, learning some new skills that are gonna be beneficial for snowboarding :) Below is a photo of the first real snowfall on the mountains around Mayrhofen a couple weeks ago, I had such a huge smile on my face, it definitely woke me up that morning while walking to training and seeing that!!
