Erin Jackson is hitting the ice hard.
With only 100 days until the Winter Olympics 2026 kick off on Feb. 6, the speed skater is eyeing a spot on Team USA for the third time. And before making it to the Milan-Cortina Games, the gold medalist revealed how she trains all year.
“Big picture, we are training from April through March,” Erin—who will be competing at the Olympic Trials in January—told E! News in an exclusive joint interview with dermatologist Dr. Camille Howard-Verovic. “We get two weeks off—that’s the last two weeks of March. Then we’re always right back into it.”
Over time, Erin and her coach Renee Hildebrand adjust her fitness program, noting that she’s “doing a lot of long hours, training, high volume, a bit lower intensity” during summer.
“Then, that switches to where it’s lower volume, higher intensity, and that’s where we are now,” she explained. “The next phase will be race season, and that starts in about two weeks. Then it’s just all go until the games.”
