Aukland’s Arena: Training Tips For Vasaloppet

by Leandro Lutz • 16.02.2023
There are now less than three weeks until Vasaloppet, the oldest, largest, longest, and most prestigious long-distance race. Long-distance Legend Anders Aukland brings you the best training tips for the last days before Vasaloppet. 

Aukland’s Arena is Anders Aukland’s regular column. The long-distance legend shares his thoughts, writes about current events and topics, and has honest words about what is happening in and around cross-country skiing. 

During the winter, Anders Aukland will write columns on ProXCskiing.com’s Norwegian sister site Langrenn.com (hence the column is written in Norwegian).
