Points for 1/2 (Marathon) Skate (Skating Technique)
Use the leg push of the free skate, but on only one side of the body.
Use double poling in the first half of the push; the result is propulsion in the direction the push ski is pointing.
Turn the body toward the glide ski as the hand reaches the hips during the double poling action.
Use double poling and leg push in the second half of the push.
Extend the arms and the push leg completely, and finish the push phase at the same time.
The body weight moves to a balanced position over the glide ski during the recovery phase.
