half herringbone poling question
I read about half herringbone in the "Skating in citizen classic
races" thread. So my understanding is that, in classic, as long as the ski outside the track does not glide, you can do anything you like to make the ski in the track glide. In normal striding up a hill which you switch to half herringbone, with left ski outside the track, what is the fluent and efficient way for the poling? That is, when the right ski is about to glide, do you pole on the right (so like striding) or do you pole on the left (like herringboning)? |
