As the skiing season draws to a close, many skiers’ thoughts gradually turn to summer training. One traditional and effective form of exercise is running with poles. Kari Varis, former Pro Team Director and top skier, provides workout tips.
Iivo Niskanen and Johanna Matintalo were the fastest in the cross-country running stage today at the Aateli Race in Vuokatti, Finland.
Simo-Viljami Ojanen, coach of Electrofit, a company offering both individual and group training in Finland, says that in the summer, recreational skiers should focus on developing the qualities that they don’t have time for during winter. Summer is a good time to focus on developing, for example, strength and core, among other things.
It’s April, the ski season is over for most people, and many are already bringing their running shoes. It can be a risky project. Our sister site Langrenn.com has talked to the former running world record holder in 5.000 and 10.000 meters, Ingrid Kristiansen, who comes up with tips on the transition from skiing to running.
