Atomic RC 11 Classic Ski - Medium
The Atomic RC:11 Medium Classic Ski is the premiere classic race ski in Atomic's line-up. Fast, light, and ready to win, the RC:11 is constructed with Atomic's Beta technology and a honeycomb Nomex core. Beta construction consists of a center groove in the middle of the ski separated by two ridges, forming a rough B-shape. This design increases torsional rigidity and stability, allowing you to get the most energy return from your kick. Atomic introduced sidecut technology to the Nordic world, and the RC:11 is a shining example of how well it works. A very slight sidecut on this World Cup-caliber ski provides a huge boost in stability and turning ability. A thin tip protruding several centimeters beyond the widest point of the ski prevents hooking or digging in, while a higher tip rise than the RS:11 Skate Ski makes for an effortless kick-and-glide.

AWESOME
Wow, this is the first year I have skied on Atomic classics, and I have to say that I have loved them every time I get on them. In the past I have used Fischers, and they just don't respond to corners, kick, or glide near like my new RC 11's. They got me all the way to nationals at Lake Placid this year, and treated me well there. I have also never skied on a lighter classic ski!!

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
