Jenny Meadows Season Review and Looking Forward to London 2012

Before Xmas I went to see Jenny Meadows, GB elite 800m athlete at Wigan Warriors Rugby league training base.  We talked about a range of things from looking back at a disappointing World Championships, taking a break from training and of course, her thoughts as we enter an Olympic year.

Jenny's husband and coach, Trevor Painter, also spoke to us about how Jenny's training regime may differ in an Olympic year and her use of the Wattbike as an essential part of her preparation for competition.

We also talked about Jenny's appearance on BBC's Celebrity Mastermind and despite not being able to choose athletics as her specialist subject she did incredibly well with her knowledge of Wigan Warriors Rugby League.  She had certainly kept that one quiet!

Jenny is currently training in South Africa where no doubt the weather is infinitely better than it is in Wigan right now.

Take a look at the video below to hear Jenny and Trevor's thoughts.
