We specialize in Personal Training Plans for masters athletes, mainly in cross-country skiing, but also for cycling, mountain climbing, running, triathlon and other power-endurance sports.  Please check the tab “About Our Training” on this web page to see a bit more about the elements included in our programs, and keep in mind that all plans are tailored to the individual users needs, experience, location and personal goals.  We have extensive experience in training the mature body and we enjoy joining athletes in attaining personal goals as much as creating champions.
