Inge ScheveNovember 16, 2010

BEITOSTØLEN, Norway – “It’s really too bad there weren’t more girls here,” Therese Johaug told Langrenn.com after the 10 k classic FIS race in Beitostolen on Sunday.

Topher SabotNovember 4, 2010

Some skiers love to run; others tolerate it. The U.S. Ski Team’s Liz Stephen is the former. And while uphill running intervals present plenty of challenge for most, Stephen not only wants a solid grade and 20+ minutes of active time – she wants a steady downpour, mud, slippery footing, and whatever else nature can throw at her. “For me it is always more fun when it is raining out,” said Stephen. “It is muddy…your...

Pro Workout: Extreme Overdistance with Noah Hoffman

Topher SabotOctober 20, 20103

This workout from the U.S. Ski Team’s (USST’s) Noah Hoffman definitely falls into the “don’t try this at home” category – or at least not without some modifications. Hoffman, an up-and-comer on the U.S. distance squad, brings overdistance workouts into a realm usually monopolized by ultramarathoners. On long runs hitting the six- to seven-hour mark, Hoffman does in a day what many weekend warriors do in a week. But these workouts are not just about...

The youngest of three siblings, Maja, 16, grew up in the rural Norwegian community Engerdal, close...
