This is the whole sentence: Aethelflaed wasn't new to this: in fact she had already practiced at/in doing her husband job as the ruler of Mercia before his death.

I made it from my history book and I would like to know if I should add a preposition: at or in?

No preposition is required. It's "practised" in BrE by the way.
