We made some reasonably big changes in the positioning of the new chair, which has made huge differences in my speeds and hopefully will have a positive impact on my times once we get on the track! I’m really lucky to have the expertise of the team to help get these changes right and make sure they complement the training I do to be the best in the World.”
