SKI RELAY

Ski Relay training plans, built for your goal

Ski relay racing layers a beach changeover onto everything a ski race already demands — paddling power and balance, now under the pressure of tagging in a teammate. SportBlox builds your ski relay training plan around your paddling fitness, changeovers and carnival calendar.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

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 fumbled beach changeovers, balance in chop when fatigued, losing pace on your paddling leg 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.

For coaches

Coaching a ski relay team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

Ski Relay training plan FAQ

Do I need my teammates to train changeovers?

Changeover drills benefit from a partner, but SportBlox marks these separately from the solo paddling and strength work that makes up most of the week.

How many sessions per week?

Typically 4–5, balancing paddling volume with a dedicated changeover session and a rest day.

Is this suitable for a first relay season?

Yes, skill level scales paddling volume and changeover complexity for newer competitors.

Will it build toward our carnival date?

Add the carnival as an event and the plan tapers in the final week.

Can it help with a specific leg (lead-off vs anchor)?

Note your leg in the plan and paddling and changeover emphasis shifts accordingly.
