Alpina S 45 Cross Country Boot
The S 45 is a performance boot on a budget for serious fitness skiers. You’re hardcore, for sure, but you aren’t a racer so who needs to lay all that money down for a racing boot? The Alpina S 45 cross country boot is the boot for you. The S 45 sports many of the same features as high-end race boots like a solid plastic heel cup and counter for stability and control. A high plastic cuff with an aggressive cant and Velcro power strap gives you the added support and power for energetic skating and fast, aggressive step turns. A combination Skate/Classic sole means if you want to give the skating a rest for a while and cruise on your classics, you can do it with ease. If Nordic skiing is your passion, but not your life, the S 45 is the boot you’ve been waiting for.

Training Tips
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.
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
