Just to add that I’ve been doing some uphilling/touring earlier this winter as well, just not really training for skimo/ski touring in a structured way. Workouts during the week was crossfit-ish kind of training for a couple months prior.

Definitely agree with Maass – maybe some skimo racing skis might have some mount adjustments for uphilling efficiency with kick turns or something, but if you’re on Shifts, you’re really more interested in downhill performance. -1.5 will affect downhill performance possibly in a more negative way than an incremental benefit on the up. Definitely won’t change anything with your knees.

As for footie, I dunno. Is there a spam reporting feature on this forum?

Cory, thanks for posting! Yeah I was thinking 3×6-8 reps as well, and dividing up the strength exercises so each group (except legs) was worked 1x per week as per general weight training methods. My concern I guess would be in timing and keeping it so that overall volume isn’t too much and the body can work on either gains in muscle mass or gains in overall endurance; trying to do both at the same time would result in no gains in either. But I guess that’s addressed in the timing of max strength workouts and replacing those with hypertrophy workouts. Anyway, looking forward to others offering valuable input.
