Rottefella NNN Touring Auto XC Binding
The Alpina NNN Touring binding is a user-friendly binding-it's stable on the track and a breeze to step in and out of. Simply press your ski pole tip into the toe piece for an easy release. Two grooves transmit power efficiently from boot to binding to ski, while notches in the grooves work to preserve the ski's natural flex pattern. The wide 56mm platform offers excellent edge control and stability. We recommend the NNN Touring Binding for use with the TR20 boot.

Great binding even better service
Super easy to deal with, fast inexpensive shipping. Binding is what I needed, bought with confidence with the great advice of operators.
Replacing old style bindings with new style bindings.
Installing the new NNN bindings was very easy. There were two small problems, however. First the mathematical conversion of the required 3.6 mm diameter drill size from metric to inch. Divide 3.6/25.4 = .141 inch which is approximately 9/64 inch. Secondly the paper template used to locate the holes was printed slightly off-center. Once the centerline of the template was accurately located onto the centerline of the skis the rest was easy. The wood type self-tapping screws worked well. I am very happy with the new bindings. They are easier to use than the old style three pin bindings.

Training Tips
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
