Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mmm never met you but judging by your tri posts I suspect fitness is as much above average as technique. wink

I may be wrong but I suspect many of the "I don't get burn" comments are from people regular skiing as opposed to Telemark, which is going to be way more demanding on quads.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I do leg blasters at least three times a week all year round. 5 sets of 20 squats, 20 lunges, 20 jumping lunges, 10 jumping squats, with 20s break in between. I don't find them particularly challenging anymore. I'm wondering if I should up the number of sets (say do 10 sets instead of 5) or increase the intensity (e.g. using weights instead of body weights) or increase the frequency (e.g. do it every day).

I'm trying to get ready for the coming seasons. In the past I noticed no matter what I did, I would still be knackered after the first day of skiing. So I'm trying see if there's anything I could do to up my fitness level.

ps I also play tennis (twice a week) and cycle to work (5 miles each way - twice a week)) and lift weights (two to three times a week).
pps I telemark (if that matters)

Except it's already developing during the day, which suggests not. The clue is in the name - DELAYED onset muscle soreness.

If anything eating more to make sure body is fully fueled/re-fueled is worth considering.
