Yukon has ons unique drill that Oles brought over from his training days in Ukraine. The drill is called “meat run” and it works on a players explosiveness and stamina. Players line up while the coaching staff ties Sausages on to your skates. Then you have a bunch of sled dogs (local dogs from the Yukon households) which are pulling coach on a sled. The players then skate around the ice while the dogs chase you. First player to to get “caught” loses and now has to not only suffer the humiliation of being the first out, but coach then throws them in the local icy river for extra motivation. (I thought I read somewhere ice baths were good for muscles?)

Oles has been running this drill since his childhood days, so he is pretty good at it, however I wouldn’t say the same for Lord Farquaad. Being 5 foot 6 means his legs are verrrrry tiny, so his stride is that of a 11 year old Ukrainian child (Ukraine's children are animals, Oles has been 210lbs since 16).
