Speed Skating training plans, built for your goal
Speed skating's low aerodynamic tuck forces the legs to hold deep knee flexion under load for minutes at a time, a near-isometric demand on the glutes and quads that no other ice sport replicates. SportBlox builds your speed skating training plan around your goal, discipline — long track or short track — and current level.
Who it's for
Building tuck-position strength and endurance
Low-position isometric strength so the legs hold form deep into a race.
Short-track power and cornering
Explosive lateral push-off and cornering strength for pack racing.
Long-track pacing and aerobic power
Sustained aerobic power for mid and long distance long-track events.
A week of speed skating training
Example: a long-track skater building tuck-position strength and endurance. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
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 holding tuck position deep into a race, explosive push-off in corners, aerobic power over longer distances 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.
Speed Skating training plan FAQ
How many sessions per week does the plan include?
Most plans run 4-6 sessions a week combining strength, off-ice speed work and aerobic conditioning.
Do I need ice access to follow this plan?
No, most sessions use a slide board, bike or rollerblades rather than ice, so you can train year-round without a rink.
Is this suitable for a beginner speed skater?
Yes, skill level scales the isometric strength holds and off-ice technique work rather than assuming a racing background.
How does it fit around my club's ice sessions?
Tell SportBlox your ice sessions and it fills the rest of the week with strength and aerobic work rather than duplicating time on the ice.
What does off-season dryland training look like?
With rink time often limited, most of the plan is slide board work, cycling, rollerblading and gym strength that transfers directly to the tuck position and push-off.
Does the plan differ between short track and long track?
Yes — set your discipline to short or long track and the plan shifts between explosive cornering power and sustained aerobic pacing work.
