If you are faster on you double pole you need to work on leg strength. If you are faster no poles you need to work on upper body strength.The bigger the difference, the more important it is to equalize the two.

Rollerski Info:
 We highly recommend Marwe Combi Skis for all our first year skiers and Marwe 610 skates for veterans getting a second pair. 
IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER YOU NEED COMBI SKIS!  SKATERS ALONE WILL NOT WORK.  DO NOT ONLY BUY A SKATE SKI.  
We use classic skis to stride one day a week
Marwe's are available at Finn-Sisu: 651-645-2443
