Get to know Jessie Diggins
– Hey Jessie, first off, congratulations on your overall World Cup win last season. What have you been up to since the season ended?
– I had an amazing honeymoon hiking in Patagonia with my husband! We went to Torres del Paine and absolutely loved it. I also had some nice rest time at home and spent a lot of time gardening! Now I'm back in training mode and at our team training camp on snow in Bend, Oregon.
– What will starting the pre-season and preparing for next season be like?
– It was really important for me to have a rest and let my body recharge and absorb such a big season, so now that I'm back training I'm full of energy again and excited for all the time with my teammates working to get better! I'm doing a lot of training with my club team, SMST2 in Stratton Vermont, and our national team camps as well.
– What's your go-to workout in May and June? Is there something specific you enjoy doing this time of year?
– I love long trail runs! I think skiing is such a fun sport to train for because you can roller ski, run, bike, lift weights, swim…so many options! But I really love long slow runs in the mountains with my team.
– The World Championship is coming up this winter. What are your goals and expectations?
– I expect a crazy crowd, that's for sure! I'm very excited, and have many races in the schedule that I'm looking forward to. But as far as expectations, I don't place results goals on my shoulders…I just expect myself to race with my whole heart, be smart and work hard in preparation, and then leave everything I have on the race course. And when I do that, I earn the right to be proud of my efforts.
– Do you have any summer shout-outs for the Jessie Diggins and Swix fans following along?
