AMR Trains: Cross Country Skiing Basics

Ready to hit the snow on skinny skis? You will be after this podcast about cross country skiing basics! Dimity and co-host Sarah Wassner Flynn talk to Anne Hinrichs, a cross country ski instructor and Birkebeiner finisher, and Emily Fischer, a marathoner and triathlete who is training for her first Korteloppet, a 29K ski race during the Birkebeiner weekend. The group chat about: —the differences between classic cross country skiing and skate skiing; —what cross country skiing equipment you need to get started (step one: a strong core!);  —how skate skiing compares to running—and training for a ski event compares to a marathon; —and why conquering a downhill on skinny skis makes you feel like a rock star.  When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
