Atomic RT: 8 Cascade APG
The Atomic RT:8 Cascade APG Nordic ski understands your multiple personality disorder. When you're feeling normal, cruising along down the groomed tracks, the Cascade will treat you well with a sure, waxless kick and a buttery smooth glide. But look, there's a break in the undergrowth and a path leading off into the woods. Suddenly, you laugh maniacally and transform into your evil twin Skippy and leap from the groomed trail into the woods. The Cascades take it all in stride with their wider profile to help you float and their light but tough Airchannel wood core. On or off track, Atomic's two-part APG waxless base will deliver a reliable, powerful kick. No matter what mood or persona you're in, the RT:8 Cascade has the versatility to give you your skiing fix.

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.
