Short Track Speed Skating training plans, built for your goal
Short track's 111-metre oval forces deep-knee-bend crossovers through every corner and tactical pack positioning that long track's steady pacing never demands — a skater with a strong straightaway stride but weak corners still gets passed. SportBlox builds your short track training plan around your goal, current level and whether cornering power, top speed or race craft is the real gap.
Who it's for
Cornering power and crossover technique
Off-ice slide-board and deep-knee-bend strength work aimed at faster, more stable corners.
Pack tactics and positioning
Race-craft drills for skaters who lose ground to positioning rather than raw speed.
First season on the short track oval
A foundational block building crossover technique and basic pack awareness.
A week of short track speed skating training
Example: a skater sharpening cornering power ahead of the club season. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like crossover technique through corners, explosive start acceleration, reading and holding position in a pack and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Short Track Speed Skating training plan FAQ
Is this for short track or long track speed skating?
Short track — the crossover-heavy cornering and pack tactics here are specific to the tight 111m oval, not long track's steady pacing.
Do I need ice time for every session?
No — slide-board and gym sessions build cornering and start power off-ice; on-ice sessions assume rink access.
Is it suitable for a beginner skater?
Yes, skill level scales crossover technical complexity and pack-tactics exposure.
Will it fit around my club's ice time?
Yes — tell it your rink sessions and off-ice work fills the gaps around them.
Can it build toward a specific competition?
Yes, add the event and race-pace and pack tactics sharpen leading into it.
