Given the large break that we have had since before Christmas, I would like to encourage everyone to reflect on what you may need to improve your general physical fitness and capacity to train in the coming weeks.

It can be very tempting to push all limits the first session you get back into training, which carries with it a significant risk of injury (from minor to major).

Consider what you can do outside of our now restricted training times to hone skills, and build the strength and endurance needed to excel at your disciplines.

If you are needing specific advice, please do not hesitate to ask your instructor, or reach out wider to help develop a periodised training plan to meet your goals for this year.

But above all else, please have fun!
