About me
I started roller skiing at fifty, on a quiet road behind my house, because I was tired of reaching the first snow of the year out of breath. I had skied for years and never trained for it. A summer on wheels changed the winter, and I have done it every year since.
Now I coach other amateur skiers who want to finish a long winter race feeling strong. I teach the plain things: how to double pole without wearing out your arms, how to build a week of training, what to carry and drink, and how to look after your skis and your hands. You do not need a club or a coach to follow along.
What I sell is printed or on screen: a week planner, drill sheets, strength cards, a training log, a twelve week plan and two video courses. The videos are free. What you pay for is the pages you can take outside and the courses for skiers who want the whole path in order.
Roller-Ski Basics was clear and easy to follow. I used what I learned the same week.

Questions
How do I get my download?
After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. Every planner, sheet and guide is a PDF you can keep and print on ordinary A4 or Letter paper.
How does merch shipping work?
Every item is printed to order and shipped by Printful. The cost and delivery time show at checkout, and a tracking link comes by email when your order ships.
Do I need roller skis to use the plans?
No. Every plan has a version for the road and a version without skis, using running, walking, a bike or the strength cards.
I have never roller skied. Can I start?
Yes. Roller-Ski Basics starts with your kit, a quiet road and how to stop. Wear a helmet, gloves and pads, and take your time on the first days.
Is this safe for me?
I am a coach, not a doctor. Talk to your doctor before you start a new kind of training, and slow down or stop if something hurts.
How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?
One every Sunday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.
