Thank you! Glad you like it!

Hell no, I can’t. But thanks for the vid!

Cool nice video. I can do the run and even accelerate but I haven't nailed down that second transition technique as of yet. Is it more difficult?

How fast is "Klæbo run" compared to running the same hill normally without skis? Does all the skiing equipment slow the athlete down or does the skier get advantage from gliding and using the poles?

Classic skiing under favorable conditions is about 10% slower than running on asphalt or a track. The glide doesn't compensate for the added weight on the foot (which is pretty much the most costly location) or the lower levels of traction (Some runners do pole assisted runs up 45 degree slopes, something a cross country skier could never do). That said, if it's a race on loosely compacted snow, the skier will have time to laugh when the runner breaks right through and goes waste deep.

Barf. The Running Like Klaebo is blasphemy on Skis. Sad state of Technique 'progression'.
