A typical training day for Julianne Séguin

6 a.m.: Séguin wakes up.

7:50 a.m.: Classes start at a high school in Boucherville. Séguin takes part in a Sportsétudes program, which helps student athletes juggle their training with a compressed schedule of studies.

Noon: Séguin finishes school, then eats lunch on a bus that transports a group of about 10 student athletes to an arena in Chambly.

12:40 p.m.: The skaters arrive at the arena. They have to be on the ice around 1:15 p.m., Séguin said, “so we have time to change and warm up.”

1:15 to 2:30 p.m.: Séguin hits the ice for her singles training, working on jumps and spins and practising her short and long programs.

2:30 to 2:45 p.m.: Break and

a fruit snack.

2:45 to 3:45 p.m.: Pairs training with Charlie Bilodeau, Séguin’s junior pairs partner. “We do the same thing. We

do our elements — our jumps, our spins, our lifts,” Séguin said. Then they practise their short and long programs.

3:45 to 4 p.m.: Another break, and another fruit snack.

4 to 4:45 p.m.: Séguin gets back on the ice, sometimes for singles and sometimes for pairs. “I’ll often practise smaller things, because we’re more tired at that point,” she said. The “smaller things” are spins, footwork and artistic work.

4:45 to 5:15 p.m.: Séguin does 30 minutes of fitness training two or three times a week in the gym at the arena. This includes cardiovascular training, a bit of strength training and stretching.

5:30 or 6 p.m.: Séguin arrives home for supper, and then it’s time for homework.

Around 9:30 p.m.: Bedtime.
