Words by Andy Longley:
‘This year I decided to make a change to my early season training, rather than following the masses and heading to the early competitions out in Finland I traveled to Apex in Canada. I made the decision to come out here as I had problem with teninopathy in my left patella tendon, making my leg very painful when skiing and preventing me from heading to Zermatt for training in the fall.
I thought that by avoiding the competitions but doing the pre US selections training camp I would be able to get a feel for how my knee was holding out before heading into competitions in January. After having spent 3 days skiing on the flats and a further 3days skiing in the moguls I am feeling confident that with a few more weeks in the gym when I get home I’m going to be fit and ready for the season.’
Let’s hope Andy is feeling fit and ready for his first competitions in January. Good luck from all at Alpine Guru!
