Hi,

I was hoping some of you have experience or could give me advise about the following.
Where I live is pancake flat, but I compete in steep mountain ultra races (Europe).
Using poles has always been my weak spot. I think my technique is not bad, but I jut lack the endurance in my arms and upper body.
There is no way I can train with poles on a regular base, as the mountains / hills are a days’ drive from my place.

I am considering investing in a ski erg / ski machine which is quitte a big investment to me.
No local gyms have one to try out for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for any input.

Best regards,
Johan

Hi Lyle,

Thanks for your input. That sounds like a good idea, but onfortunately there is not a lot of space on ‘my’ hills which are being used for pedestrians and cyclists as well. Even late at night or very early AM it can be quitte busy.

But I appreciate your comment.

Best regards,
Johan
