HPU race team training day

Another great training day with the HPU team at the University of Essex on Saturday. We kicked off with a really useful run drills session followed by a 2hr steady ride - coming from Norwich its useful to get some hills in though my cycling was a bit below par. The afternoon was taken up by a video and a chat on mental toughness with a clear message that we can all push harder if we can manage our emotional responses in training and racing. We finished off with core conditioning and stretching which seemed relaxing at the time but I sure felt it the next morning!
