Where do most skaters get themselves into trouble?  It's simple!  Accelerations!  Increases in pace are part of inline racing, but most skaters do not specifically train to deal with the issues of acceleration, top-end speed, and recovery ability.  SkatEtrain's unique Tabata-based training methodology not only addresses these issues, but makes them THE primary focus of the entire season.

SkatEtrain Coach Barry Publow -  one of the sports leading authorities on sport-specific training application - has been working for months to develop a Tabata-based training protocol to be used by competitive inline athletes.  Tabata training will not exclusively replace conventional interval methodology, but serve as the basic building blocks for weekly microcycles and macro phases.  In other words, the Tabata workouts will serve as the main catalyst for performance improvement, with all other training serving to enhance the body's ability to rebuild, regenerate muscle tissue, and replenish fuel stores.   Read more...
