I’ve noticed myself activating my dorsiflexors (flexing foot upwards a bit) to keep the blade contact with the ice towards the heel when in forward skating. Especially so try my new skates with their somewhat more aggressive toe pick, I’ve found myself due this much more. I’m wondering if this is normal or bad technique. Might I be positioning my body weight too far forward? The only reason I even ask is I’ve found doing this very tiring on my dorsiflexors especially after skating three days in a row (I normally skate 2x) and using new, stiff skates.
