But under the watchful eye of ourselves she has has since had a 7th place finish at the 2011 Triathlon World Championships in Beijing on top of a massive number of age-group and overall wins in Aquathlons, Duathlons and Triathlons up and down the UK. This blog entry talks about her recent performance at the European Triathlon Championships in Eliat, Israel……. an inspiring and exciting read!

Last year I was lucky enough to spend some time with the team at Wattbike to learn more about the benefits of training on the Wattbike and how it compares to other indoor bikes.

Recently RG Active coaches John and Marsha travelled to the Wattbike science lab for a day of advanced training to learn how the science can be used to help all of the RG Active client base that are looking to improve their cycling strength, speed and efficiency. After the visit Wattbike pieced together a blog about RG Active’s visit and we thought it would be a great idea to share it with you all.

Dressing properly for winter training and racing is a skill that can make your sessions more comfortable whatever the weather. Ironically, the recent RG Active Ballbuster duathlon brought in to sharp focus just how easy it is for even the most experienced athlete to get their winter kit selection so absolutely, completely and utterly wrong!

I am back in the UK, back to work and looking forward to some time off after a very successful year, and my first year as an RG Active athlete.

I had a great race today at the World Aquathlon Championships. I kept to my race plan & didnt push too
