Hey, skiing this week, therefore leaving many weeks of build up for the FLM> Just done an hour at 4000ft. Skiing location is at 6000ft at the base of the mountain and 9000ft at the top!!!! Get some altitude in the lungs for the next week!
Re: National XC Championships

It doesnt matter how long I am here, I wont get much running in anyway. Managed to get 10 miles in this morning but off to Ski school at 7am tomorrow. So either run in the evening or not bother. Doesn't matter really.
If you are going altitude training I believe you need to be there for months. A few weeks here and there makes no difference.
Re: National XC Championships
I hope youre enjoying the apres ski too!
