Edge & Drive: The Speed Skating Performance Planner

Speed skating demands relentless power, balance, and posture control — all while maintaining maximum velocity in deep, mechanically taxing positions. This planner is built to support those demands off the ice. Through targeted strength, balance, and sprint mechanics, it enhances lateral push force, posture endurance, hip stability, and anaerobic capacity. Whether you’re training for short track, long track, or inline, this program helps you move faster, corner tighter, and recover stronger — lap after lap.

What This Planner Includes:

Isometric and unilateral strength training to reinforce low skating posture

Lateral force production drills for stride power and corner control

Core and anti-rotation work to maintain balance under speed

Hip and glute development to support edge drive and efficiency

Plyometrics and sprint-start work to simulate on-ice launch and acceleration

Anaerobic conditioning and fatigue management modeled after race pacing

Ideal for speed skaters in off-season or dryland prep phases

Designed for skaters who want to gain power, hold form, and finish every lap at full force.
