Fitter Radio Episode 011 - James Oram

Part 1 of a 3 part series in which Bev looks at elite performance and training intensities.  Has one particular approach to training been more successful than another? In Part 1 we discuss the spread of training intensity across your week and why it matters.

Mikki talks about carbohydrate mouth rinses – can they really increase performance.

Our Hot Property interview this week is with kiwi cyclist James Oram.  James is a pro rider for the Bontrager Cycling Team and has recently been selected to New Zealand's Commonwealth Games Squad.
