It steered me toward a question I have chewed on more than once here at FasterSkier: when it comes to low-intensity training, are you better off concentrating volume into one big week,...

But should you spend all of the time that you do have on improving your skiing directly, or cross-training? For cross-country skiers, cross-training might include strength training, martial arts, running, cycling, swimming, roller skiing, tennis, and any number of other activities. Is such variety necessary, or even beneficial?...
