Week 5 · Session C · Speed & Shift Conditioning

The first three strides and the third period. Short acceleration work while fresh, skater bounds for the push-off, hip strength in the skating plane, and shift-length intervals that build a forward’s engine.

This week

The strength phase. Reps drop, weight climbs, rest gets longer — and the barbell versions of the lifts come in.
