Jenny Meadows on Recovery, Tapering and the Wattbike

Posted by Matt Moran on Aug 01, 2011

With the World Championships in Daegu fast approaching we wanted to catch up with elite Great Britain 800m athlete Jenny Meadows and what better place to do this than at Wigan Warriors training ground where Jenny does some of her training with Warriors Head of Sport Science, Mark Bitcon.

Jenny told us she's been using the Wattbike a lot as it helps her to continue her cardiovascular work whilst reducing the level of impact on her body and consequently the chance of injury. Jenny continues to use the Wattbike right through the season and it will become increasingly important during the August tapering period in preparation for the trip to Daegu. Find out more from Jenny and her coach, Trevor Painter, below.
