I run and cycle too, and often train for long distances — while it’s great for cardio it almost does nothing for me returning to skiing. Like @MrsPlow . the most I can do on return to snow day 1 is one to two runs with like 5 stops on the side to get out of my boots / unbuckle and rest for a min …
This season I did strength and leg conditioning 4 weeks prior to the start of the season and I cycled a ton and ran a 10 mile race (so I trained in running and cycling)… none of it really helped me. It’s just time on snow for me.
my daughter spends 1 hour per day in her ski boots for at least a month before getting on hill. She also runs cross country before the season. It’s like she never took a break from skiing. I may try this (wearing boots daily) next season. She is young (12 years old now, 11 when she did it) so it could be youth. I don’t know.
don’t be dismayed! Recovering from injury is that much harder!
