🏃♀️ NEW EPISODE – Lauren Percival ⚡
This week Sam & Katie catch up with NSW representative sprinter and Australian Under-23 international Lauren Percival.
Lauren takes us through her rapid rise from training on grass in Ulladulla to running 23.51 for 200m, representing Australia in Taiwan, and setting her sights on the World Championships and ultimately the Olympics.
We dive into the world of sprinting, covering: ⚡ Why the 200m has become her favourite event 💪 Sprint-specific gym work, power development & plyometrics 🏃 Track sessions, block starts & overspeed training 🧊 Recovery routines including sauna & ice baths 🇦🇺 Representing Australia on the international stage 🎯 Chasing the next big breakthrough toward global competition
As always, we finish by comparing everyone's training weeks, chatting through recent sessions, and a few running rants—including track etiquette and some frustrating close calls with drivers.
A huge thanks to Lauren for joining us and sharing an inside look at elite sprint training.
