So I have been out on the gold coast now for 2 weeks and instead of the usually “Balls in the wheelie bin” sessions it feels like its been a balls in the wheelie in non stop! Things have really been ramped up this winter which is exactly what I need to step my performance up this year.
Even though I am not running, swimming and cycling super fast at the minute I am loving training out here. I mean how can you not when the sun is shinning and your doing what you love for a living.
I am doing my training with Stuart Hayes in the swimming pool and running which is great to have an athlete that pushes as hard as you in every session. Stu really drives me through the sessions when I am hurting its great to have someone there going through the pain with you as well but what makes the sessions even better is having the coach on the side lines that knows how each session feels and really understands and gives you the motivation to get through it.
Michelle is not only getting me through the hard swim and run session but in the bike session she is training herself which is great for me as I not only have Stuarts skinny ass to chase but hers also. She is training for the national road race championships and is going very strong.
We did a session around a place called Nerang and it’s a two and a half minute circuit with half of it up hill. when I had to go hard I had Michelle next to me shouting at me to dig in making me push that little bit more. It just shows how strong she is when she is still shouting at you when were both cycling up the hill! But I love it.
I had a quick look at my diary today and notice it was only 8 weeks till Mooloolaba World cup so I best keep working hard.
All the best guys
