The main thing about skating fast and having good technique is building your body to be ready for it.
I didn't knew, how much work this will require from my body and mainly from my legs.
I had been working hours on hours at the gym, jumping and bouncing like a rabbit sometimes for even more than 3-4 hours in a row....
This is one of the hardest exercise that we do, when you do it right you can feel like your quads are about to explode...But this will make you ten times stronger if you do it right.
The general idea :
Starting at sitting (skating) postion, while the legs are at 90 degrees.
Put some wheight on your back, the best thing is just to take another person and ask him to sit on your lower back.
Once you lift him up, try for 30 sec to get your self to 90 degree again and release the power by lifting your ass a bit up.
Try hold this for 30 sec, and DO NOT forget to REST ! after each 30 sec set.
Do that for 2-3 time of 30 sec, and that will be 1 serie, if you can try and do 2-4 series like that of 2/3time X 30sec.
Make sure to make plan for a recovery day after this training, or else you might injure your self !
I have to say that the times and th numbers that I said are not the best for each one, if you want to do it, check your own times and don't take my numbers as a "must" .
