For the half term I stayed down in Nottingham and trained all week. From Monday to Thursday I was with the England training squad.

Monday was two white water sessions and a session on the flat at lunch.

Tuesday was a white water session, gym, then another white water. Over the summer break I’m increasing the amount of weights I do with less reps of them, this will increase my strength before the racing starts again .

Wednesday was just a two session day, both on the white water.

Thursday was a day full of physical sessions. First i had speed progs, then a 5k run, then into the gym and finally a loops session. needless to say i was shattered after that day.

As for friday the england camp was over, but i had one last day of training with my coach. Due to heavy rain the course was closed to the public because of flooding, but tat meant that it was nice and empty for me! I did a normal white water session in the morning and another physical session in the afternoon.

At the weekend I was told to only do one session per day, saturday I did a progs session, but Sunday saw the course so flooded that noone could get on it so I had to resort to a flat session.
