  • Program for recreational skaters

    For 2006, OISC will provide two levels of recreational and fitness programs.

    Recreation 1: The focus for this group will be honing basic inline skating skills and building confidence on skates.

    Recreation 2: This group’s focus is mostly recreational skating as a way to enjoy the outdoors and adopt a more active lifestyle. Programming for this level will include instruction on improving skating technique and gain solid fundamentals.


    Program for speed skaters

    To suit the different needs and various skills of skaters we are offeirng two kinds of programs.

    Fitness / Speed Program 3 is for members that have mastered recreational skating and are interested in speed skating.

    Fitness / Speed Program 4 is designed to help speed skaters optimize their technique, obtain peak conditioning and use periodization for preparing for races.


    Skate your best ING marathon or half marathon

    This program will help you prepare for the May 28th marathon or half-marathon inline skating events.

    The focus will be on helping you build a sufficient base to comfortably complete the marathon or half- marathon distances by building up your weekly skating distance to 80 kms or 40 kms per week respectively. This clinic includes two practices with Barry Publow, internationally renowned inline skater and exercise physiologist, author of Speed on Skates, and head coach of the Ottawa Inline Skating Club.

    In addition to the camaraderie and motivation of training with skaters with similar goals, the clinic will cover the ingredients of a successful training program.

    On April 12, we will hold a "chalk talk" where we will host experts in a number of areas to give participants valuable insights to help with their training, nutrition and achieving your goals.
