Runners’ Edge Alaska

Our October Client of the Month is David!

After a ski injury resulted in surgery and the end of the ski season, David came in during the off season eager to get back onto the snow.

Working with Toni and Nat at the south clinic, they created a personalized plan for him to get back into skiing. Focusing on sports specific activity and movements, David is getting ready to strap into his skis🎿

If you have surgery coming up and need post-OP care in Anchorage, Runners Edge is the place to be! We’ll work 1 on 1 with you, using VALD to measure your strength, BFR to grow muscles faster, shockwave therapy to help with healing, and utilize a plan to get you back to what you love!

With the mountains turning white, people are preparing for the upcoming ski season. But which kind of skiing?

Here’s the difference in training between Alpine and Nordic

NORDIC
🔴Endurance!! Nordic skiing is a full body work out in order to move through the trails. This makes cardio a high priority.

🔴Upper body strength: Many people think they only need their legs for pushing, but are missing so much potential. Upper body is important for power and balance

🔴Single leg balance: Each push off the skis is a single leg movement. Lacking single leg balance can mean meeting the snow over and over again

ALPINE

🔴Hip Strength! Weak hips are the downfall for lots of skiers. It’s so critical to have strong hips in order to have a stable foundation

🔴Plyometrics: Alpine skiing is a sequence of powerful burst and knowing how to jump and land properly. Great news is that you get a long break on the chair lift

🔴Lateral movement: Unless you’re a teenager trying to show off, you will be moving side to side down the mountain. You need to know how to transfer weight and power for each turn

Before the resorts open, come in for a sports performance session and get a personalized ski prep program. Or you can sign up for our Build Better Ski class. Only 1 spot left!

Let us know which skiing is your favorite!

So what does training for some really big mountain days actually look like?

For our Athlete Ambassador, Galen, it’s a lot of easy miles, getting out on the trails with friends, learning the mountains around him, and knowing when to take a rest day.

That approach paid off this summer, including a 21 hour traverse of the Chugach Front Range and a trip to France to race UTMB.

We asked Galen about his training, what he’s learned along the way, and what happens when things don’t go according to plan.

Swipe through for some of his answers, and check out the full Q&A on our blog. Link in bio.

After the last Arctic Cross race, our PT Trever kept getting asked the same question: “Why does my low back hurt so much after racing 'cross?” So he went home and wrote a blog about it. 😂

Cyclocross is a little different from your typical bike ride. Low cadence, high torque efforts + rough, jarring terrain + fatigue = your low back doing A LOT of work.

The good news? You can train for those demands.

In the blog, Trever breaks down:
→ Why 'cross can beat up your back
→ How to train specifically for race-day demands
→ Strength exercises to build a more durable back and hips
→ Mobility work to help you handle the rough stuff
→ What to do if your back is still holding you back

Read Trever's full blog: “Why Your Low Back Hurts After Cyclocross (And What To Do About It)” at runnersedge.physio.

See you at the next race. Hopefully with a happier back. 😎
