Race execution

Station performance focus.

Full-body aerobic power and repeatable pulling mechanics under the fatigue of the opening run.

  1. 01

    Drive the handles down with your trunk and hips instead of pulling only with your arms.

  2. 02

    Let the handles travel high on the recovery and keep the return relaxed.

  3. 03

    Settle into your target pace early. The race is too young to chase a few costly seconds.

Common mistakes

Where time gets lost.

01

Starting at a sprint because it feels deceptively easy in the first 150 metres.

02

Pulling too early with the arms and wasting grip strength before the sleds.

03

Using a stroke rate that is too high to produce meaningful power per pull.

Training ideas

For your next workout.

Race-control intervals

4 × 500 m at intended race split, 60–75 sec easy recovery.

Compromised practice

1 km controlled run + 500 m SkiErg, repeated 3–4 times.
