Presented are furthrt basic philosophies of the Norwegian training system (in cross country) with some explanation and comments. - In general, avoid "Middle of The Chart" intensities - Training structure in cross country skiing SUMMARY of the "Unified field theory" for XC ski endurance training: 1. Build the the typical training week around 2 hard/high intensity training sessions. 2. Increase the total volume of training with primarily low intensity work at not more than 70-75% % or so of HR max. Don't view these long, low intensity sessions as valueless, and don't adopt a "harder must be better" approach! 3. Avoid a training condition in which each session begins to take on the same medium intensity.
