Description

Nordic ski covering about 3.4 miles with roughly 420 feet of total climbing at a moderate average heart rate near 109 bpm. Overall pace was around 18:00 per mile, with the opening 1-mile lap the quickest near 11:30 per mile and later laps slowing on the longer climbs while heart rate stayed controlled. The middle laps combined steadier climbing and variable speeds, suggesting a mix of aerobic cruising and short pushes, and the final shorter lap maintained similar speed with lower effort. To complement this outing, consider a shorter, slightly faster ski later in the week focusing on steady technique at a comfortably hard pace.
