Hi Guys,  I'm a skater in an all girls flat track Rollerderby team - any other derby girls or Quad/inline skaters out their? Prior to starting Rollerderby I did NO Sport or training at all. The derby training is pretty intense but I have joined a gym now so I can get in some off skates training (and also to keep activity up when I am off skates through injury - which seems to happen alot!) Any training tips and advice would be welcome as i'm kind of playing it by ear at the moment ;) Thanks Guys!

Cool - I've just enrolled in skate training classes to start in February, and will be getting involved with our local league.  My new 'training regime' commenced today is partly to get my fitness up to a partway decent level so I can cope with what sounds like some pretty serious skate training!

Let me know how you're going - some pointers would be terrific.

 

Doing something is better than nothing, and nothing is never an option!

It is important that you eat and drink the right foods to improve your performance before any game. Carbohydrates are very important before a game to fuel your performance with a good head start. After eating your meals, you should give your body some time to digest and process the food.

Add protein to a carbohydrate drink to improve endurance and start a repair-recovery process while skating. Another important thing is to match the number of calories to the size of effort. For high intensity skating, you will need about 25 grams of carbohydrates every 30-45 minutes.
