High Performance?

After Schladming I was proper keen for next year.. returning to education I was thinking I was gonna have loads of time to ride and train during the week. Well, I'm a law student and it turns out we have to do shit loads of reading, and it takes bloody ages: there's not as much time for riding as I'd like.

Anyway, that doesn't matter cos Bristol University has a High Performance Sports Squad which if you're fortunate to be accepted onto is pretty damn good. We have access to nutritionists, sports psychologists, physios and a strength and conditioning coach. I've never had access to any of those things so I'm pretty excited about being able to improve my performance next year by tapping into all their expertise and working hard in the gym.

Tuesday night we had a Boxercise session. One of the hardest things I've done for a while, but so good! I'm still a little achy 2 days on, but I'm sure once I've been a few times there'll be no more aches, just a stronger person! It's gonna be hard but I defo want to go again.

December is here so I'll be hitting the gym regularly from now on, and I'm looking forward to it. Its been too long that I've just been sitting in the library living a very sedentary lifestyle, so time to regain the spritely feeling of a well-exercised person, helll yeaaaaaah!
