Learning from the best

Callum lives in Lillehammer permanently, training hard towards his goal of selection for the winter olympics 2018. I joined in with both his training sessions today. In the morning at 9 am we did 5 x 5 minute hill reps up a mountain (he did 7 reps). Saturday afternoon we did 90mins easy skiing. It's not real snow, however they have started making snow as it's now cold enough that it doesn't melt immediately.

I was surprised how incredibly difficult it was to balance - I have done downhill skiing and ice skating, however I seemed to have no balance at all and must have fallen 15-20 times in the 90minutes we were there. Blip shows Callum displaying excellent form.

He's currently running a crowdfunding page to try and raise money to buy 10 pairs of world class skis, he'd welcome any donation!
