Interview with CompuTrainer sponsored athlete, Jodie Swallow

Jodie Swallow is one of Great Britain’s top female triathletes. In 2004 she represented GB at the Athens Olympics and by 2010 she was Ironman 70.3 world champion.
2013 has already been a good year for Jodie. In January she regained her Ironman South Africa 70.3 title and completed her first ironman (South Africa) in April, leading for much of the race and eventually finishing 2nd.
In today’s interview Jodie tells us about her future plans for Ironman racing, her life in South Africa with boyfriend and fellow Ironman competitor James Cunnama.
Jodie is a CompuTrainer sponsored athlete and recently responded to an email I sent her by saying “I use the my CompuTrainer everyday and except for my swim cossie, I cant say that to many sponsors”

When listening please take note of some of the key reasons why Jodie uses her CompuTrainer most days. The safety aspect is something I have heard more of our pro riders say in recent years and as the number of cars on our roads increases I’m sure it will become a bigger problem for serious cyclists.

More importantly the commentator referred to a very deliberate upper body strength & conditioning programme that the riders have so that they can maintain the “quiet” posture when riding.

“I won’t let the bad weather beat me” turbo sessions

Many of you will be dismayed to see a return of the wintry weather this weekend. But that doesn’t mean you can’t cycle. Sure you might have to use the turbo, but something is better than nothing.

I have put together 3 x 2hr indoor sessions for you to try.

Have fun & stay safe [Read more...]
