1. Constant Training

Leerdam trains throughout the year to stay fit and healthy. “We cycle a lot in the summer, block training, mountain biking, hours of easy riding,” she says. “That’s the conditioning part. You need a strong base condition to be able to peak at the right moment. In winter, it’s more skating, weight training, and cycling. I train twice a day. We’re off one day per week… I need to work on conditioning, flexibility and strength to be fast and explosive on the ice. This sport is a combination of every aspect of physical fitness. Flexibility, endurance, power. If all of those things are in balance, I feel fit.”

2. Healthy Diet

Leerdam doesn’t eliminate any food groups, but is mindful of her protein intake. “In the morning, I eat oatmeal and lots of fruit,” she says. “It fills me up because I’m always super hungry from training. I really have to watch my protein intake. If I take too much I get too muscular. As a skater, I have to be strong but I don’t want to be too bulky. I see food as my energy. I need carbs. I need fat. I need everything.”

3. Fat For Energy

Leerdam uses extra fat as a way to up her endurance. According to the athlete, she burns fat for more energy. “I have become stronger and heavier,” she says. “I now use that extra fat as strength."

4. Rest Days

Leerdam goes boating in summer and relaxing on the couch in winter for her much-needed rest days. “Research shows that when engaging in any type of intense exercise, the working muscles start to break down, causing microtears in the muscle fibers,” says certified personal trainer Angeliki Mavrantza. “By giving your body a break with an active recovery day, the microtears begin to rebuild, and the feeling of soreness and pain will decrease.”

5. No Cheat Days

Leerdam doesn’t believe in the concept of a cheat day. “I eat plenty of vegetables and watch how much food I eat in general, but I wouldn’t say I have a cheat day,” she says. “What really is a cheat day anyway? A burger contains animal proteins and good fats that I can use as energy. I’ll watch the saturated fats, but if I feel like it, I eat it, and I don’t feel guilty. I use the energy to train the next day.”
