So after 7 months of chronic illness which ended in getting my tonsils removed, I finally have sufficient energy levels to resume my training. Let me tell you, it’s bloody hard work! I started the training regime with a medical assessment of physical performance at the Sportservice Vorarlberg, and the result was not too bad…for a recreational sports person. Basically, my fitness is at rock bottom, and I have to work as hard as I can to get fit enough in time for the coming winter. I’ve been taken up as an athlete on the team at the Sportservice Vorarlberg, which provides me with all the training facilities and support that I need. Athletes from different winter sports train together with a coach on Tuesdays, consisting largely of sprinting drills, speed and agility as well as coordination exercises. So far for me it’s simply been a battle to survive and get through the 3 training sessions of the day. I’m not giving up though and it’s motivating me to be able to train with other professional athletes, so I’m going to stick with it and hopefully it will get better each week. I’ve got lots of work ahead of me!
