Madshus 373 Ultrasonic Skate Ski
The Madshus 373 Ultrasonic Skate Ski uses the same sidecut as the Madshus pro racing skis that the world's foremost biathletes and cross-country skiers have been winning medals on for years. This sidecut makes for a longer, smoother glide phase and improved stability. With a lightweight polycell core, the 373 delivers light weight and responsiveness at a no-sponsorship-necessary price. Madshus torsion cap construction makes the ski torsionally stiff so it won't wash out or eat up precious power from your kick. For value conscious racers, or anyone else who just wants a fast, fun skate ski, the 373 rocks.

Training Tips
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.
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.
