DP on skate rollerskis with classic poles?
I use Marwe 610's for skate rollerskiing, and really like the way they
handle the rough roads around here. I have some classic roller skis with a metal frame that get bounced around like crazy. Hence, I want to do classic DP training on my skate rollerskis. In other words, use my classic poles for DP-only workouts on the skate skis. As I see it, for DP training, the ski doesn't really matter at all (except for a very slight difference in height with my particular skis). Obviously the boots are different, but for doing DP, how big a deal is that? Please let me know if I'm doing something that will ruin my technique, etc. Seems like for building fitness this should work fine. Thanks for any thoughts! David |

If anything the Marwes are too smooth and too close to on snow glide.
Perhaps there is some way to slow them down to give you more of that 'workout' sensation. I've heard of heavy grease or brass washers being used for this purpose. Its such a relief to then go back to a free glide and not have to force your way forward with each push. |

I'd suggest you trial the skate poles too. Remember you are higher off the surface.

DP on skate rollerskis with classic poles?
We do it regularly on 610s (or others) under the guidance of a national
coach, who does it himself on 610s. It helps develop longer hill climbing. Consider alternating it with runs of legs only and maybe V2, depending on the intensity level you're looking for. Single sticking uphill with skate poles is also good, usually for shorter distances (~1.5 mins). The main thing technically is to maintain good dp form, i.e., elbows out/hands in (be compact), ankle flex throughout the cycle, and really get down into those legs. rm "David Snyder" wrote: I use Marwe 610's for skate rollerskiing, and really like the way they handle the rough roads around here.

When skiing with my wife I do those, to match the speed, and for 3 years straight 75% of skate skiing I was doiing was double-pole and leg-only. Not very exciting (skiing-wise, not relationship-wise), but my racing times have improved by ~5-10%. |

I second this too:
