Ski Ergometers?
I am looking into upper body ergometers and was wondering if you have had any discussion re:  the merits of the:  Ercolina vs. Skierg Concept 2 vs. the VASA?  From the little research I've done I realize the VASA is the most expensive, the Ercolina is portable but also somewhat noisy and the Skierg appears to be the least expensive but not as versatile.  Any information or reference to Archived articles would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thank you,
 
Kim

For anyone, not needing a mobile unit, I would recommend the SkiErg. A few years back Ercolina had an advantage in its single sticking ability. But now SkiErg has this classic technique feature as well so the SkiErg is my choice. Also the electronics on the Ski Erg allow you to track your efforts and compare compete with others etc. Ercolina has the advantage of its portability. I know little about the Vasa, as it is focused heavily on swimmers and not as much on skiers.

Fall Intervals?
Throughout the summer I've focused on Lactate Threshold interval training. What is the best way to continue the interval training as we transition into the fall/winter season? Should the focus go towards VO2 Max intervals? Should the overall "on" time decrease or maintain steady?
G
 
Answer by Jim Galanes

G,

This is a very complex question to answer due to the confusion around the definition of lactate threshold, its purported benefits and costs of this method of training when contrasted to the potential benefits of other forms of training. In my opinion many of the often stated benefits of this type of training are not amply proven in science.
 
In my experience and in the majority of current research what we once thought of as the benefits of this type of training are in question. I believe there is some value in this sort of training in early periods of the training year, and for long distance races where the primary benefit of this type of training is on efficiency or economy. While there is no doubt that virtually all training can have some positive effects for endurance sports we should consider a cost benefit analysis. In other words minimizing the cost and maximizing the benefits. In the case of threshold training due to the required duration of training and with less than optimal benefits the cost is quite high.
 
So the time to start with VO2Max Intervals is now. I recommend that you start conservatively, one session per week to ten days depending on fitness level and not more than 5-10 minutes of hard work time. Then over time you can first increase the volume of intervals in each session, followed by increasing the number of sessions. We have also found that for those not used  to doing these type of intervals it can be a bit easier to learn how to do them effectively by starting short, 30 seconds on/30 seconds off and gradually building the duration over several weeks. It is important that for these intervals to be optimally effective that they have to be done very hard, 90-95% of maximum heart rate. You heart rate will not get to that level as it takes the heart rate and oxygen deliver systems some time to ramp up to meet the energy demands. A good pacing strategy for these it is think of doing these at a pace you could sustain for 4-6 minutes and after a couple of minutes of intervals you will be right in the desired range.

Terva vs RF,

I started trying Start stick kick waxes last season, starting with the Oslo and RF waxes. (Start Wide Uni klister has been a long time favorite). Are their conditions where Start Tar would work better than the comparable RF grip wax?
 
EH
Medford, Oregon

Here is the simple Start Kicker rules

Tarva- Tar - New snow
Synthetic- Dry snow
RF- Wet snow
Oslo-Icy snow

As you ski in Oregon you will likely use RF more than Terva to manage your snows Moisture and get kick on glazing tracks.
 
Use Terva tar on fresh fine grain snow. The tar in the wax makes its outer later get much harder than its under layers so new fine sharp snow crystals do penetrate it so you do not get icing. The softer under layers bend so you get good kick. With the hardness that TAR brings you can often ad a small layer of it over other waxes to give the skis quicker release.
 
RF is for wet snow.  Wet snow, even new wet snow, has rounder crystals then new fine grain snow. The RF is much softer than the Terva so you can get kick on glazed tracks and allot of Fluor to manage the extra moisture that is present. RF also needs a couple of KM to ski it in before it is at its best it provides kick right away, but gets better release/speed after about 3 km.
 
Synthetic is used on old dry corn snow when you need an extra soft wax to grip to the round transformed snow crystals. The synthetic is very soft with a wide temperature range but also very durable. It is the building block for RF.
 
Oslo is 1 part uni wide klister and 2 parts hardwax (some Tar, some RF) and its best on icy granular ballbearing tracks like man-made snow. Or snow that is icy and wet at the bottom of a trail and new fallen powder at the top.

A Boots Life?

How long do XC skate boots typically last?  If you add roller skiing to the mix, 
does that change the lifespan and effectiveness of the boot?

This varies greatly by model/construction method and brand and also the care you give your boots. Rollerskiing is considerably tougher on equipment than snow skiing and does wear out equipment faster. The heavy rollerskis, the heat, and the harshness of pavement takes their tole. We recommend people rollerski on their old boots and keep new boots for snow. If you do this you can get many comfortable winters on new boots and a few rollerskis seasons on old boots.
 
That being said, it truly comes down to the model and construction. I consult for Salomon so I am biased. But most Salomon race boots have Carbon midsoles (the heart of the boot). The carbon midsole boots have considerably longer lifespans than fiberboard midsoles, and they keep their starting flex for many 1000km's. But the other considerations are the boots uppers materials, insulation and foam. Over time, the uppers pack out and get looser and colder. You replace you running shoes and see benefits. you will see the same benefits in new Nordic boots.

I hope this helps

Start Power 
Hello Dusty,
 
I was curious if the start pole race 1.0 power edition would be available this weekend at Finn Sisu? I tried out this pole at a past Birkie demo and was quite impressed with the power transfer with it. However, when I look at their website it doesn't look to be available with the rigid strap option. Any idea if this will be available? 
Thanks,
 
NR

The Start's Power Edition Solid Strap and handle can be purchased as an add on, to any of our Start Race 1.0 kits from any Start retailer. The Solid Strap has a solid carbon/nylon composite withinthe strap that wraps the hand and is linked to a mechanical hinge. It offers increased power transfer and quicker pole return than a traditional soft strap. Those who try it either love, or hate it, none have no opinion. 



Hip Flexors?
Hi,
I don't get to ski a ton and will be doing the Finland Border to Border this March.  Do you have a suggestion for exercises (maybe with theraband or such) to get my hip flexors ready for the miles and miles of classic skiing? Thanks!
E

E,
For this I would find an old wooden Nordic Track. This machine is not perfect for technique but it is great for conditioning and conditioning hip flexors.

Andy at SkiPost


Readers do you have other suggestions? email weanswer@SkiPost.com

Pilates has been the single best thing I have done for my hip flexors and overall flexibility. Find a studio where the staff has gone through accredited training and go a couple a times a week to get started. You won't regret it. I go at least once a week in my off season as a supplement to my roller skiing and other training.
 
T So

Re: strengthening hip flexors:  I've found that if I go to yoga weekly and do "boat" posture my hip flexors don't hurt at all after that first classic ski.  Boat is basically a "V sit" - on your butt with your legs raised straight up in front of you and your back straight, and your arms straight in front of you on either side of your raised legs.  Until you get strong you may have to bend your knees.   Hold for 5 breaths, about 5-10 seconds and repeat 5 times.  I'm sure you could find an illustration of the correct position on the internet.  It's great for abs, too.
Sally

If the reader has access to a gym...
 
1) elliptical machines with arm levers and forward motion are good, as long as the leg resistance is not set too high. They are also good for doing intervals. The ones without arms that pedal backwards are also good for leg strength and balance (hands free).
 
2) Rowing machines are a good all-around workout with plenty of hip flexion and, if done properly, help with ab strength a bit.

Big Toe Joint Pain,

Got any idea how to reduce hinging at the big toe joint (the one at the ball). I have serious arthritis there and especially in classic ski boots, it makes me bend where the joint doesn't want to bend. Are there classic boots which hinge farther back or insoles which make the bend farther back into the instep? Thanks for your help.
G
 

G,
I had Bunion surgery years ago as a young college athlete. At that time the boots put too much stress on the toe and I overused my joint. But now the toe is much better partially due to shoe technology. I use Salomon Slab Carbon boots which have a rounder toe off rather than a cardboard lasted boot. I also know that some people enjoy the Salomon Slab Skiathlon boot as it has a slightly stiffer sole than the pure classic boot. 
 
Andy at SkiPost

I've had two surgeries on the joint that one of your readers asked about.  My pain started when I started skiing seriously.  Not sure what the exact cause was but I have severe arthritis in that joint and in the sesamoids right at the ball of the toe.  The best thing I've found for relief (recommended by my surgeon and P.T.) is Dr. Jill's dancer pads.  I have to wear them every time I ski or roller ski.  Without them I would have had to quit.  They are $20 a pair and last until you loose them (they come in packs of two for the same foot so you need 2 packs to cover both feet).  Please pass this along to your reader.

Checks moving from upper left to lower right indicate strength in Endurance and a weakness in speed. Checks moving from upper right to lower left indicate strength in speed and a weakness in endurance. Checks pushed right in the middle of the graph indicate a high-end fitness weakness, such as low Vo2, lactate threshold and/or poor economy. Only testing at a qualified lab can determine where your physiological weakness in this zone lies. 

You can gain some beneficial information from analyzing your performances in your five best and five worst races. See if you can find trends that might help indicate your strengths, weaknesses (area's of greatest opportunity) with regard to fitness, strategy, diet and your race and pre-race habits. Things to consider are the race distance, technique, individual or mass start, snow and weather conditions (cold/warm, soft/hard tracks), course type (hilly, flat, steep, gradual), strategy (start hard/easy, attack the hills or ski an even tempo), nutrition (general, morning of, day before), other (travel, sleep, emotional state, race size...)
