KnordicFit delivers programming for adults to build fitness and finesse on cross-country skis in a social group training format. It is oriented towards intermediate to advanced cross-country skiers who – much like fine wine and cheese – are only getting better with age!
Dryland and on-snow fitness
Build fitness through a training plan that peaks for the January to March loppet /race season. Follow 4-5 week meso-cycles alternately focusing on endurance, threshold, and peak speed to prepare you to ski further, more efficiently. Do dryland training from September until the snow flies focusing ski specific workout
In Spring and Summer we offer wide range of general workout with less ratio of ski specific. For example running, hiking, biking, paddling, swimming, roller skiing and nordic walking.
In general, the program assumes that you are active through the summer months and are prepared for up to 3-hour workouts ski striding, running, biking and roller skiing starting in September.
Schedule: Training sessions are Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Technique improvement
CANSI and NCCP certified coach provides technique assessment, instruction and feedback in both classic and skate skiing techniques. Expect technique feedback at every practice, with frequent video analysis.
Social events and activities
Social ski outings just for fun, with no formal instruction or programming. Summer group social activities, and fun try-it events in other nordic sports. Come with a smile and a sense of humour — develop lifelong friendships along the way!
