Renoun Endurance 98

“I live in Utah and train pretty hardcore pre-season to prevent injuries. I also like to train so when we get big storms I can actually ski well for as long as I want. I train for pure ski endurance. Also, I am not young and have training like this for 20 years with almost no injuries. I typically ski about 50/60 days a season. If I had a quick turnaround to get fit I think the first thing I would do is try to blowout my quads a few weeks out from the trip. No weights just lunges, sumo squats, jump squats, bulgarians and wall sits. Then some glute and core counter workout because tight quads will pull your back out of whack. Skip the sit-ups and do transverse abdomas exercises. Do as many as you can so you pretty much can't walk for two days. I would do this to shock my legs into shape. I like the initial blast because it is what you actually do when you ski without pre-season training. Once recovered I would be blasting these exercises 5 days a week along with wind sprints to build cardio. When I say blasting I mean hundreds of reps a day. I like to train as if I was skiing so high reps, no weights and my breaks are just slowing way down to catch my breath.”
