Bradley Wiggins praised the new training techniques applied by his coach Tim Kerrison
Bradley Wiggins is building up on his current form at the Criterium du Dauphine after some splendid performances during the first half of the season.
The cyclist has appreciated the new training techniques applied by his Australian Coach Tim Kerrison.
While commenting on his coach, Wiggins voiced, “My coach has not been in cycling for long, he’s come from swimming”.
“So I’ve pretty much been training like the swimmers train, I’ve been constantly training through the year”.
“It’s not like the traditional way for cycling, which is starting in January fat or in really bad condition”.
“It’s just trying to be 95, 97% all year and constantly working, the only downside is that it’s mentally difficult, but up to now I’ve found it pretty good”.
“I’ve only raced four races this year and I’ve had long periods between races to freshen up and do good blocks of training,” he concluded.
