how to get in shape for cross country skiing in 6 days?

okay soooo yeah i procrastinated and i know i wont be super strong in six days but i’m gonna be on the cross country ski team this year. theres no snow right now where i live so i’m assuming during the first few practices we’ll just be running and doing other core workouts and stufff and i was just wondering what i should do. i’m willing to work out all day for the next six days if i have to. just give me a few exercises to do. thankss

As with all conditioning, start easy and do not over do it. Walk 15 minutes, jog 5, fast walk 5 and repeat. After 1 hour, ice down and wait 2 hours to start over. This should prevent early season muscle damage that will prevent you competing for several weeks. Torn muscles take time to heal.
