TRAINING REGIME
I train in a group of <k1m with vivien colober and sebastien combot. I
base myself in Pau, i like this course as it is fast and i can work all aspects
of my physical and technical preparation. I do gym, aerobic and power training
in phases depending on the competition period. I also do some swimming and
running for cross training. Over the last few years I have realised that rest is
also very important, i tended to do too much and lose my freshness.
