Just curious....
I've been in rinks where skaters who have gone to singles Nationals at Novice - Senior have trained.
In general, these skaters seem to skate twice a day (a.m. and p.m.) on M-F, a total of three 45-60 minute sessions (sometimes more) and a session or two on Saturday.
They seem to have some sort of lesson each day -- jumps or choreography or running programs under coach's direct watch.
Is this pretty much how the rest of the world trains?
Or rather, aspires to train as a 'best practices' -- I understand that best case scenarios don't take into consideration what is is actually available or what money individual skaters have to train.
