Peninsula Loop Skate Session
Nordic ski in Summit County, United States by dkoehn on Sep 9, 2026
Distance: 5.2 km
Elevation gain: 106 m
Duration: 1h 6m
Description
Easy Nordic ski covering about 3.2 miles in 26 minutes (moving), with roughly 348 feet of climbing between 9,030 and 9,180 feet. Average speed was 7.4 mph, with a moderate heart rate around 117 bpm and a short peak to 151 bpm on the steeper climbs. Laps show a strong, steady first mile, a slower second mile with more climbing and some standing time, then a slightly faster third mile as you skied back into rhythm, finishing with an easy cooldown lap. To complement this outing, consider a shorter session with a few harder 3–5 minute efforts on similar terrain later in the week.
