K.I.S.S. Intensity
Dear SkiPost, What is one simple thing I can do each week to make me faster?
Intensity. The #1 thing most people can do each week is to increase the intensity in one workout. Rest the day before and then create your own hammer session.

Rollerskiing Substitutes
from June 21
Would LOVE to know any reasonable training substitute for roller skis? indoor machines? equipment that reasonably simulates the muscle requirements of roller skiing? As I have a skin condition that can-not handle risk the possibility of road rash from a crash.
There are some good substitutes for rollerskiing that you should put into your weekly routine. The main thing they should accomplish are increasing upperbody specific strength, technique/coordination and full body aerobic conditioning.
I would recommend: Getting a machine like the advanced Concept 2 Ski Erg (a SkiPost sponsor that provides discounts to Ski Club members) or at least creating a homemade rollerboard (see below) as well as hill bounding, hill walking and trail running with poles that we have featured in previous SkiPost articles May May 17 June 7

Exergenie
Here is another specific strength device that faded from the scene after the mid-80s---the Exergenie---Kochie was a true believer in this device---it is small, very specific and travels well taking no space and can be used in any setting PS you'll think arm bands---but it has the resistance at the beginning if the stroke not the end. This is a great device, Marty Hall
