To help me do this my usual weekly fitness routine is:
- Monday - a 10K run
- Thursday - a tough circuits class
- Saturday - a training session with a focus on whatever I'm aiming for at the time
- for Mongol 100, this is a mix of weighted step ups, weighted lunges, deadlifts and spinning - all designed to improve leg strength
- core and upper body strength to balance the workout
I don't ice skate so I took some initial lessons at a local ice rink to get the basics and the practice is up to me.
I took to the ice rink with my new nordic touring boots and skates to try them out last weekend only to be told that I couldn't use the nordic skates in a public session as they were to long and pose a safety risk to other users!
Fortunately, a member of the Forth Valley Speed Skating club was around and invited me to train at their sessions on a Sunday, which I will do.
The boots felt fine with the skates but I still have a way to go to be completely competent on the ice!
