Alpina Discovery Backcountry XC Ski
The Alpina Discovery Touring Ski is designed for skiers who want the float and stability of a wide waist but don't want to muscle around big gunboats around in the snow. The Discovery features ¾ metal edges to give bite where it's needed without excessive weight, and is designed to be used in slightly shorter than normal lengths to make it easy to maneuver in the bush. A Posi-grip waxless base offers a reliable kick in all conditions. Proving that good things do come in small(ish) packages, the Discovery is waiting for you.

Training Tips
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
