Training special with Miriam Ziegler and Severin Kiefer, Patrick Roest and Dr Nick Galli

It's a bumper episode of The Ice Skating Podcast! 

This week we've got a training special, giving you insight into how elite athletes work all summer to ensure they're at their very best in the winter.

We've got an exclusive interview with evergreen Austrian figure skating pairs athletes Miriam Ziegler and Severin Kiefer. The duo are getting better year on year – and tell us how they're training this summer as they target success at Beijing 2022. 

There's also a chat with three-time World Champion speed skater Patrick Roest from the Netherlands. How does he cope with a brutal training regime through spring and summer? 

Finally, we speak to US Speed Skating mental skills coach, Dr Nick Galli. He's a fascinating figure with a huge amount of insight about how mental preparation can benefit physical wellbeing and performance.
