Hello AC Malaysia!

I was fortunate enough to have the oppurtunity to visit Athlete's Circle, Malaysia over the weekend. I was tempted to squeeze in a swim strength set but I had purposely left my swim gear behind. This was a work trip and I wouldn't have time. So I went exploring instead and found a nice catus garden- as you do.    

A sleepy plane and cab ride later, I stumbled upon the familiar black and orange signage that told me that I had arrived at my home awya form home. Tacx trainers lined the walls ready for Sat morning's big gear session. Everyone inside was busy perparing for that evening's talk and it was a bustle of positive energy.   

Super happy to see such a good turn out from the Malaysian athletes. They were warm, keen and best of all, full of interesting questions. It was a pleasure sharing the secrets of The Method with them; many nodding in enlightenment as I went into the 5 physiological systems and the importance of hormonal balance in endurance training.

Saturday Morning- Everyone was keen to try out ironguides staple big gear set after hearing about the benefits of a slow twitch bike vs. fast twitch run. We started off with some single legs drills before hitting the hard stuff. Once the crew got dialled into the right resistence and cadence, they really gave it their best. As pools of sweat started to form, you could tell that they were loving in - kind of : ) 

 

   

With enough time to squeeze in some fast strides, the atheletes got to experience one of my favourite  ironguides bike/run session. I told them to repeat this set every week for full neuromuscular recruitment and adaptation. It was cool!

        

The AC Malaysia crew showed the utmost professionalism, dedication and teamwork in putting this together. It was great working with you and getting to know you better. Thank you Lee Fong, Jolene and CG! Our athletes and I had an enriching and awesome experience beacuse of you.

We had an hour before we had to leave for the airport and the hotel pool beckoned so I bought some trunks and goggles and jumped in for a swim tolerance set. Got that swim in after all : ) Better than lazing around getting burnt!
