When do you
Train

It depends on the time
of year and phase of training, but on average 10 times a week. |
|
What Type
|
A combination of water and land work.
In the winter more of the training is in the gym doing weight training
and on the roads running. In the summer the majority is in my kayak building
speed, lactate tolerance and endurance.

Train hard but also train smart. Listen
to your body, it is the best indicator of when to stop and when to go through
that pain barrier.

One of my vices is that I hate losing!
But I have learnt that along the journey to success you have to experience
failure. Just make sure that you learn from it.
