Dans le cadre du Défi des Escaliers, les athlètes de uOttawa Nordiq graviront des escaliers et relèveront des défis amusants pour vous remercier de votre appui. Nous sommes reconnaissant que nous avons toujours l’opportunité de pratiquer notre sport et nous nous sommes engagés à utiliser notre plateforme pour promouvoir les activités de plein air cet hiver !

Chaque contribution, peu importe le montant, est importante pour notre avenir. Pour montrer votre soutien et lancer un défi à notre équipe, veuillez veuillez consulter cette page.

GEE-GEES AWARDS

2020-21 was a challenging season, but many uOttawa Nordiq athletes made the most of it! Congratulations to this year's Gee-Gees Awards recipients.

See here for a description of this year's award recipients.

Fueling for Cross Country Skiing

Cross country skiing is one of the most demanding sports in terms of energy requirements, so it makes sense to take the time to figure out optimal nutrition strategies. Fueling for your sport can dramatically affect overall training quality, performance, recovery, and even your overall health.

As a team, this year we will take the time to emphasize sports nutrition. We’re going to use this platform and our website (and our coach Sheila Kealey's expertise) to take you along on our journey and help inform others in a context that’s practical for nordic skiers (i.e. what doesn’t freeze when it’s -20 deg C?).
