How to Skate a 10k (and Also Half a 10k)

TL;DR — The double Olympic champion’s own 62-page training plan, published free after Beijing 2022: huge volume, a fixed weekly rhythm, and full rest days.

Nils van der Poel won 5,000 m and 10,000 m gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics, setting a 10,000 m world record, and then published exactly how he trained. The document covers his year of base training, long cycling and skating sessions, a weekly day completely off, and his reasoning.

What it is: a first-hand account from the best in the world at the event. It became famous among endurance athletes and coaches.
