At Trollhättan Action Week and Alliansloppet, ProXCskiing joined Pro Team Directors, Pro Tour athletes, and traditional cross-country skiers to spend at least one training session with them. We talked about training, but also about hobbies and personal life. We start this series with Maxime Grenard, Team Nordic Expérience Coste & Fromageries Marcel Petite Pro Team Director, and coach.
Five training sessions designed to help you develop and improve your double poling across skiing, roller skiing, and the gym.
Petter Northug Jr. is back and will be joining Ski Classics. The superstar skier used altitude training systematically over many years, including the seasons in which he performed at his best. This is how he trained at altitude.
Coach Steinar Mundal warns about the popular training tool.
In long-distance skiing, like in cycling, drafting another skier is enormously beneficial. The term drafting is mainly used in sports physiology and biomechanics to describe the tactic of performing a mode of activity in a sheltered position.
With summer training season in full swing, it’s time to recall the basic terms of ski training.
In long-distance and traditional cross-country skiing, core training has become essential for skiers striving to succeed in competitions. But how to improve the core so that the technique is correct and the movement is completed without tiring?
Long-distance skiing is a versatile sport requiring many training hours with diverse workouts increasing an athlete’s physical capacity, endurance, VO2max, strength, and speed. It may not occur to many recreational skiers that long-distance skiing requires speed characteristics, but today’s aggressive skiing style also requires high speed.
Cross-country skiing is undoubtedly an endurance sport, and long-distance skiing is one of its extremes. For skiers, endurance is a term we all know well, don’t we? Have we ever taken the time to think about what the word sustainability means? No worries, because this article tells you what endurance means physiologically.
In yesterday’s article, we learned about VO2 max, which is still one of the critical factors in skiing and endurance sports. Another almost equally magical concept is lactic acid and its tolerance, the so-called lactate thresholds, and training at these levels.
