Coaching a 200m Flying Sprint Session in Inline Speed Skating

This episode breaks down a classic 200m flying sprint session for inline speed skaters, based on two core training documents from Inline Speed Skating School (ISSS). Aimed at coaches, it explains how to run 2 × (3 × 200m) flying laps in Zone 7, with appropriate warm up and cool down structure.We cover the main objectives (developing maximal speed, push quality and timing), how to manage intensity and recovery, and how this session fits into anaerobic sprint development. We also dive into technical priorities like stability in the corner, edge control, low position, upper-body stability, and how to cue athletes during the session.Finally, we discuss practical coaching tips: how to time and track progress across repeated sessions, how to vary reps (solo, in group, with relay push), and how to individualise rest periods so every sprint stays truly maximal.
