It’s always an exciting year after Olympics to see who has used all their energy in the previous season or who has decided to retire? We are ready to work for the next games, which will take a lot of work to make that jump up to top five in four years but we are confident we can get there. It seems a long way off but you really do need that time to prepare and work towards being the best.
We touched down back in our training base in Poland just last Thursday and hit the ground running. Today our tame running coach arrives; some say his voice can only be heard by cats; and if you tune in to 88.4fm you can hear his thoughts; all we know for sure is that he’s called Jacek.This guy is just a machine and gets me to do distances and times I would have laughed at when we were training in the UK. It’s great to have good voices around you that you can trust are truly pushing you for satisfaction instead of money. This week is all about fitness tests, so we can figure out boundaries and where we would like to be at the start of early season. Basically, reach your limit everyday… and that’s it. Sound like fun?
Anyway, all I’m saying is our holidays are over now which always seems a shame but it’s good to get back to the grind. This year we didn’t actually manage to get away for our holiday. Last year we had a fantastic week in a Villa in Spain with a load of friends but with Olympics this last season we are completely spent up.
We have some Chiller shows in two weeks, 12th of June in Cardiff and 13th in Altringham so we’re looking forward to those and I will keep you posted on how they go. Shows are a little more on the glamorous side of skating but should raise some much needed funds for our training.
Have a great day and remember always believe!
