Great speed skaters achieve top speed with as little effort as possible. When everything is in synch it's like magic and feels so good. Speedskating Deconstructed! can rapidly accelerate your grasp of what you need to do to achieve greater speed with less effort. The best do less to get more. That’s why they make it look easy and less-skilled athletes make it look difficult. Poor skating is conflict and waste. Superior skating is fluid, synergistic movements and sequences. No added friction or drag, just clean speed. You become an efficient system doing only what is needed. These videos deconstruct this optimum technique by the world's best skaters and explain how you can do it on the ice yourself. Master these principles and you'll improve timing, power, and efficiency while minimizing energy cost.
