From Cyclist to Skier - the transformation
Read the topic about elite world - class marathoners from Africa that
spend couple of years in skiing school in Scandinavia somewhere. Still could not ski worth a sh.. ! You'll do better though. Lemond, Phinny and many others are avid XC-skiers. |

From Cyclist to Skier - the transformation
succeed at skiing. Perhaps other sports than running that have more
technical aspects would produce better skiers. I don't know of any other nations that have tried to produce skiers from runners or other athletes. I believe the feel of balance is the key, apart from being fit as an endurance athelte. As a result, transition from sports like ice skating, road biking, and mountain biking to XC skiing should be more or less smooth. Running does not require much balancing... balancing skills of a runner are not much more advanced than the balancing skills of a 2 year old kid who just learned to walk. |
