Sun Aug 27, 2006 - Norwegian junior national team coaches Age Skinnstad and Fredrik Aukland were impressed by the fastest skiers in a recent rollerski time-trial at an open junior national team camp, but suggest that many need to train more V1 on rollerskis.
"I’m impressed by the top skiers in today’s time-trial. Øystein Pettersen and Kurland Olsen tied for first in the boy’s race. Johaug skied very fast in the girl’s race and won by more than 40 seconds," said coach Skinnstad
He is however not impressed by the general V1 capacity among today’s (Norwegian) junior skiers.
"Many skiers are training lots of rollerskiing in easy terrain. Everyone in today’s race skied hard, but it showed that few are doing enough V1 in long uphills. Why not do in training what you will do in races this winter? A large portion of a skate race is spent doing V1," said coach Fredrik Aukland.
