The recent bad weather hasn't halted training for the Channeling Positivity Team. Seizing the opportunity to acclimatise to the cold tempertaures we may face during our Channel swim, we donned our Bathers, hats and goggles and got out in the snow this week!
Completing a short circiut training session,we soon warmed up with a run through the streets of Lady Bay followed by skipping intervals and some boxing based drills, although i'm pretty sure this was just an excuse to wear some gloves!
We plan to repeat this excerise whenever possible. 'The cold really gets in your bones when you're swimming in cold water, anything we can to to prepare our bodies for this is going to help! Hyperthermia is one of the biggest risks when swimming the Channel, so we will do anything to avoid this. Ice baths are also on the agenda for the new year!' said Kate as she ran back indoors!
