Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Endurance (9/10): A 5km SkiErg effort is a major test of long-distance aerobic endurance, mental fortitude, and pacing strategy on this specific machine.

Stamina (9/10): Demands extreme upper body, core, and leg muscular endurance to sustain a consistent and effective SkiErg stroke for the extended duration of a 5k.

Speed (4/10): Pacing is absolutely critical. Maintaining an efficient stroke rate and consistent split time over 5000 meters is the primary challenge.

Power (3/10): Focus is on sustained aerobic power output over a long duration, not maximal explosive power. Consistent application of moderate power is key.

Flexibility (2/10): Basic SkiErg mechanics require adequate shoulder, thoracic, and hip mobility to maintain efficiency over a very long distance.

Strength (1/10): Minimal maximal strength required. The overwhelming factor is endurance and the ability to repeat the pulling motion thousands of times.
