Kayak Training in the Summer

National kayak trainer Kjell Tore Solvang of Norway recommends Nordic skiers use paddling as an alternative training method in the summer and gives advice both on over-distance workouts, intervals, and technique in the boat.

“There is more and more explosive strength in cross country ski racing, and training in the kayak can give ski racers a good alternative training method in this area,” says former Norwegian National Team Coach in paddling, Kjell Tore Solvang.
