Karhu Orion Touring Ski
|
Karhu Orion Cross Country Touring Ski is a great touring ski for breaking trail over undulating terrain. An updated version of the classic Catamount. Karhu Orion Cross Country Touring Ski is a great touring ski for breaking trail over undulating terrain. With metal edges and a fatty, deep snow friendly profile, the Orion has the ability to hold an edge when conditions get icy and keep you afloat when breaking trail in soft snow. A Duraplast Foam Core is totally inert which means the Orion's flex and camber won't break down or break in so the skis will still ski like new several seasons and countless miles down the line. Omnitrack graduated scales fade from large rounded scales in front and behind your foot for glide to toothy, dense scales directly underfoot for a solid kick. The Karhu Orion works famously with a light telemark or 3-pin binding (or, say, a 3-pin telemark binding) for all-over touring versatility on flat and sloped terrain.

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
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.
