Kilian's Classik - day three...
Jono in full flight!
Day 3 of the 2013 Kilian’s Classik week saw the Salomon International team get to grips with some future kit testing and some tech coaching from uphill master Jono Wyatt…

There was plenty of wind at 2750m on the ridge above Font Romeu for the third day of the Kilian’s Classik. But it was a good chance to test jackets and protection by the team runners and our junior guest runners.
Coming down the mountain tested a variety of skills (including skiing on the snow!) where we could see plenty of skills. Running in our big group also makes the snow fights much more fun too!

Then its photos for the runners with the next season’s products in focus, followed by one of the week’s big success stories so far. This was the lesson in uphill running. It was really interesting to hear from some real specialists such as Jonathan Wyatt (winner of 6 World Mountain titles) about how they deal with the steep up hills.
Different techniques were tried and tested against each other by the athletes with the highlight being the race uphill between our two camera guys! Another fun day has ended at the Kilian’s Classik and now we look forward to more fun and trails as the sun rises on a new day in Font Romeu.
