Hyde Park classic evening course - starts 23th Jan

Rescheduled from Wednesday 9th January

• 6 weeks: Wednesday 23rd January to Wednesday 27th February;
• Ideal preparation for Vasaloppet, classic skiing in Feb/Mar/April;
• Not for beginners! Emphasis on training, some technique work;
• Meeting Triangle Car Park, Hyde Park from 18.05, start at 18.20 - 20.00;
• Ideal training for classic Ski Marathon-ers and arctic racers!

This 6-week course will take us to the end of November - the emphasis will be more on training than technique. We'll do lots of double poling, kick double poling, diagonal gait, intervals, some balance work, etc. Building on the basics and pushing it a bit. Nobody is expected to come every week, but it would be good if you could.

The car will be there, from 18.05 (as soon as the Congestion Zone finishes). Training will start the training at 18.30, to allow for a good warmup. High visibility jackets and lights will be available if you need them, but you may wish to bring your own. It will be dark in the park!

Cost: £85 for the 6-wks if you have your own skis, £105 if you need to hire skis - book below.

Course members are welcome to join a 'ski ganging' session on Highgate West Hill, Tuesday evening at 19.00. I did this for the first time this season in the autumn, and it's a fantastic workout. Recommended especially to anyone doing Vasaloppet or other ski marathon. (Everyone can join in, feel free to bring friends, no charge).
