Having registered as many as 100 Personal Bests (PBs) at the Sprint and Middle distance Fest over four competitions in October and November, athletes from the Reliance Foundation Odisha Athletics High-Performance Centre (HPC) in Bhubaneswar return to training later this month eager to build on that momentum. Based on data from the previous training year and in-depth screening, Head coach James Hillier and his team have plans in place to build further on the individualised training programmes in place for the athletes, tailored to the specific needs of each individual. The intention is to ensure they are meticulously prepared to perform at their best at the most important competitions scheduled over the course of the next year.
"Athletics is all about competitions therefore when the athletes are training, they must always have half an eye on the competition that they are preparing for," explains Hillier. "The training goes from more general at the start of the year to more specific as the athletes get closer to competitions."
