Maintaining Your Base

vittala — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:47:15 CST

Don't let a long layoff reverse your hard-earned gains

Your base is what you carry over — and build on — from last season. It's your foundation of technique, endurance and mental toughness.

It's your springboard to success. But unfortunately, it's highly perishable.

When you stop training, even briefly, it shrinks and shrivels. And if you take too much time off, it disappears, along with all your hard-earned gains from last season.

Generally, if you miss one training session, you lose one week of base; if you miss one week of training, you lose one month of base; and if you miss one month of training, you lose an entire season of base.

So How Do I Get It Back?

You recover your base the same way you built it — with hard work. You may also find it necessary to rebuild your self confidence, which can be badly shaken by finding that you are no longer as fast as the skaters you beat last year.

How to Take a Break

So is it a bad idea to take a break? No, in fact, taking a break can help restore you, physically and mentally, at the end of a long season.

But you shouldn't overdo it.

If you take a break, don't quit skating (or training) completely. Instead, just cut back. If you were training twice a day, cut back to once a day. If you were training five times a week, cut back to three.

Or you can simply reduce the intensity of your workouts; train the same number of times a week, but don't work as hard.

Whatever you do, don't lose the habit of training. Once that's lost, your base is sure to follow.

World Race venues and formats

vittala — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:57:59 CST

Inline speed skating races are held in a variety of formats and on a variety of surfaces. Indoor races are most common in the United States, which has a long tradition of racing on skates at rinks. The competitions are generally held at roller skating rinks with plastic coated wood floors and less commonly, a plastic coated cement floor. The track is about 100 m in circumference. At USARS (USA Roller Sports) events, tracks are marked by four pylons set in a rectangular shape, while at NIRA (National Inline Racing Association) events, tracks are marked by multiple pylons that create an oval shaped track. Events, or meets, are typically structured so that members of numerous age groups race in three or four distances. For the more populous divisions, there may be a number of heats in order to qualify for the final race. To some extent, indoor inline races are similar to short track speed skating.

Outdoor races may be held on regular pavement on city streets or park roads, or they may be held at specialized venues similar to velodromes, sometimes called patinodromes. A patinodrome is generally about 400 m in circumference and may be surfaced with asphalt, concrete or similar material. The curves may be banked. Such specialized skating tracks are relatively common in Europe but rare in the United States. Race formats include: Time trials: Held "against the clock", each skater races individually or in pairs over a distance of 100 m to 300 m, attempting to establish the best time. Time trials are occasionally held over longer distances, but they are very physically demanding and not popular. Sprints: Skating in small groups of about a half dozen over a distance of 300 m to 1000 m, skaters advance in a series of heats to a final round.

Elimination races: In these moderate-distance races, also known as last man out, the hindmost skater is eliminated from the competition each time the pack of skaters complete a lap or when they complete certain specified lap numbers. At one or two laps to before the finish, the group has usually been pared down to four or five skaters. At this point the first across the finish line is the winner. Points races: In these moderate-distance races, the first, second and third skaters to cross the start/finish line at certain specified laps are awarded points. Laps late in the race are worth more points, with the final lap worth the most points of all. It is possible to win a points race without actually being the first to cross the finish line at the end.

Points-elimination races: A combination of elimination races and points races.

Relays: Relay events include teams of two to four skaters each. Indoor meets may include "mixed" relay events in which teams have either one female and one male OR two females and two males, but outdoor relays (usually held on tracks) are usually if not always single-sex events.In a mix relay, it is traditional that a female goes to the starting line as the first skater to race.

Criterium races: Instead of racing a specified distance or number laps, the skaters skate for a certain amount of time, then plus a (small) number of laps. The time is typically between 15 and 45 minutes, after which a bell is rung and the skaters informed the race is over when they skate one or two more laps around the course. The portion of the race skated after the bell is rung is known as the bell lap (or laps). Distance races: Although events such as points-elimination races and criteriums may cover a distance of 10 to 25km, a distance race usually refers to a race over a set distance of about 5km or longer and without specialized points or elimination rules. The event may be truly point-to-point or may held on a repeating course with a circumference of at least 1km. Distance races are often marketed to the general populace and not just to members of inline racing clubs. Marathons: Lately there is a new movement of skaters bringing big masses to events, this events are the skate marathons, 42K long or 26.2 miles, the most popular marathons in the USA are: The Northshore inline Marathon [1][2]. These races gain more popularity everyday as skaters form friendships and bonds at this events. and Saint Paul Inline Marathon Ultra Marathons: Ultra Marathons draw large numbers, given the time needed to complete such events, one could say that they are the equivalent to a running marathon, this events were very popular in the late 1990s but declined after the year 2001, there is a new movement of people keeping this events alive and bringing them back to the forefront of the speed skating world. There are two very old and popular Ultra

Marathons in the USA: The New York City Skate Marathon And NY 100K The New York City Skate Marathon & NY 100K on its 17th year this event has drawn the best skaters in the world such as Chad Hedrick and Dereck Parra. Athens to Atlanta Road Skate (The A2A) [1] This is the longest running point to point event in the USA with a maximum distance of 86.7 miles. In the early days of inline racing, sponsors of distance races were often also running event organizers, and the races they organized were commonly the same distances as those of running races, about 5–10km. By the mid-1990s such events were proving to not be very popular and in the United States, where sales of inline skates were also beginning to slip, there was a decline in participation at races. However, at about that time in Europe, where inline skate sales were beginning to rise, race sponsors began to regularly organize longer events, particularly inline marathons. Such events proved to be enormously popular among fitness skaters, with some events such as the Berlin Inline Marathon and the Engadin Inline Marathon in St. Moritz, Switzerland, regularly attracting over 5000 skaters each year. In about 2000 American event sponsors followed suit, and inline half-marathons and marathons were scheduled more and more frequently around the country. As in Europe the events proved a big draw with fitness skaters looking for events which would give their training a focus. However, by 2005 this surge was tempered as some major events were either postponed for a year or cancelled permanently. In the United States the most popular inline marathon has continued to be the NorthShore Inline Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota. In 1999, a team of six British men lead by Paul Robinson skated from Land's End to John O'Groats, a distance of 886 miles. This is the only known long-distance skating event held in the world to date. Dryland triathlons: Occasionally organized by triathlon sponsors, these events substitute inline skating for the swimming component of the race. These events were infrequent even during the mid 1990s boom in inline skating participation. Today they are rare to non-existent. Downhill races: An event most popular in the Alpine countries of Europe, these races are timed events down a steep course. Racers usually skate alone and the event commonly uses the best time of two heats to establish the winner. Downhill inline racers usually wear skates much more like "regular" inline skates than inline speed skates, along with extensive body covering and protective gear, and strong helmets. They may reach speeds of up to 130km/h.

Knee and ankle bend for skaters

vittala — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:40:46 CST

There are two very important angles in inline skating.

One is the angle of the foot to the calf, which depends on how much you bend your ankles.

The other is the angle of your lower leg to your upper leg, which depends on how much you bend your knees.

Bending your ankle pushes your knee forward. Bending your knee brings your thigh closer to the ground.

So What?

Together, deep knee bend and deep ankle bend will turbo-charge your skating. They do this by, in effect, putting your legs into a compressed position, ready to pounce like a coiled snake.

Think about it: With legs straight — in other words, without knee bend — you cannot push. (In fact, you can't move, except maybe to fall.) The reason for this is that the power of a push comes from the energy stored in the bent knee and ankle.

Aside from lengthening your stride, knee and ankle bend puts you in a more balanced and streamlined skating position and takes some of the load off your back.

But ...

The reason skaters don't spend more time in a low position is that it's tiring. It's a test of a strength and endurance.

But here's the good news: you don't have to stay in a low position all the time. You can save it for when you need all your power, such as at the end of a race.

In fact, it's not a good idea to stay in a low position too much of the time. If you do, you could end up without enough gas in the tank for the final sprint, where most races are decided.

Becoming a Low Rider

You can learn to skate low by taking a "quality over quantity" approach to training. To do this, focus on technique rather than distance skated and keep thinking about being low.

Some skaters make the mistake of only bending the knees. To make sure you also bend your ankles, notice where your knees are in relation to your toes. (The more you bend your ankles, the more your knees will move forward.) You should feel your lower calves pushing into the tongues of your boots.

Focus

To learn to skate low, use short, concentrated training sessions that focus on technique.

Here's a good 20-minute interval workout that will help get you lower:

Skate for one minute with a deep knee and ankle bend, followed by one minute of rest. Repeat 10 times.

Don't push yourself past the point where your "good" technique starts to crumble. It takes strength and balance to maintain the low position. And once you get tired, you are likely to lose it.

Off Skates

Dry land exercises can help develop the strength needed to stay low.

Squats are great for developing strength. (See squat tip.) Use a mirror or camcorder to make sure your knees are forward and your hamstrings (back of upper legs) are parallel to the ground.

Dry land skating is also helpful. Just make sure you don't "pop" your hips up as you are stepping from one leg to the other. Instead, keep them low.

Well, that's the ... uh ... lowdown. ... Now get out there and skate!

Golden Rules
Three things to work on every time you skate

By Joey Mantia
Jan. 18, 2009

I always tell people that skating is 90 percent technical. If you have strong legs but weak technique, you're like a powerful car without wheels.

That's why it's so important to work on technique.

Even after years of training, there are still a few technical challenges I try to work on every time I skate.

1) Arm Swing

Your legs follow what your arms do, so practice bringing your hand up in front of your face on each forward swing and fully extending your arm on each back swing.

2) Knee Bend

The lower you are, the farther you can extend your legs.

When skating indoors or on a small track, pretend that you're sitting in a chair as you move down the straightaway. Then try as hard as you can not to lift up as you go around the corner.

3) Ankle Support

I always try to focus on keeping my ankles nice and firm when I skate. If your ankles aren't firm, and give as you push, you lose power.

There are several ways to practice good ankle support. Here are four of them:

* Skate with your buckles loose and your laces untied.
* Jump in place on one foot at a time.
* Balance on a trampoline on one foot at a time.
* If you have access to a gym with a half ball, balance on the ball, one foot at a time, while lowering and raising yourself into the skating position.

My coach Renee Hildebrand used to always tell me, "Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect."

This is especially important when you are working on technique. If you don't focus all your attention on it, you won't get the results you are looking for.
