It all depends on what distances you are doing. A 500m, you want to have lots of explosive power, that only has to last 50 seconds right. If your that type of racer you want to be running wind-sprints, running stairs, and all other exercises you can thi sof that would give you more eplosive power. But if you are the long distance type, say for a 1500m or 3000m, you want to have that explosive power, but not foucing on that component so much, rather you sould be doing like 5Km runs, and training for those longer races. You want to have strong Quads for all distances, a Strong Butt helps too. For Long Track you might also want calfs that can propell you forwars as you toe off with the clap-skate. MAy i just add that a great, but painfull exercise that will take you miles ion alost everything physical you do, is to do crunches. I know we all hate them, but it's for the better :) Good luck to all you speed skaters out there :)
