“When I was in Miami a few weeks ago to do a clinic, I was stoked to see that the group there did a lot of their on water workouts together as a training group. I honestly believe whether you’re training on land or on the water, you get far more out of your training if you’re part of a group than you do if you always train alone.”
“While training for the Olympics I almost always had a training partner. Whether it was Brian Bliss, Peter Koschanow or Jack Chubaty, most of the workouts I did I had someone there to push me and keep me honest. When they weren’t there I actually enjoyed the change of pace that came with being alone and the solitude of being alone on the water. I could still train effectively (even without the advantage of today’s modern technology like a GPS and heart rate monitor) and had some refreshing time to myself. But when I was doing really intense stuff, or when the training program was really nasty and I was feeling really rundown, it was great to have someone else there to push me, motivate me and to share the experience with.”
