To get the new year started Gautier and I revisit last year’s training. We share key sessions as well as the principles which guide them. Plenty to celebrate and plenty to critique. But as athletes we understand that progress is a continuum, so we head into 25’ with zeal.
Talking through this year's performances. The good the bad the reality and how I am thinking about next year.
