Karhu Dorado Touring Ski
The Karhu Dorado Touring Ski is a burly Nordic hybrid designed for touring and turning in soft snow conditions. Mounted with a 3-pin or light telemark binding, the Dorado will glide easily and quickly across the flat approaches and hills. The Air-channeled Macroblock core and 4D fiberglass wrap are as burly as burly can be so no matter what crazy route tickles your fancy you should be able to get to the end with your skis intact. Karhu’s Omnitrak NoWax Base uses a graduated grip with rounded scales in the transition zones for better glide and tight, toothy scales underfoot for a powerful kick. Full metal edges give the Dorado the edge bite it needs to carve out turns on the downhill and makes the already tough ski bulletproof.

Training Tips
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
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.
