Cardio-Vascular and Stamina Training

Bert Vogel is an athletics trainer and specialises in training long distance runners. The cardio-vascular and stamina training programme that he has planned has been specially adapted for me and tailored to suit my needs as a handbike rider. This year Bert is again helping to organise the Eiberrun which now attracts international runners, for more information on the Eiberrun you can visit the Eiberrun website where you can find all the information on this years event or have a look at the photos I made of the Eiberrun runners at this years event.

Power and Condition Training

The weight training scheme that I am presently following in the build up to the ride has been personally designed for me by Frank van Amersfoort who is the assistant manager of The Chariot sports center in Eibergen. I am very greatful to Frank for showing me so much support and giving me so much of his personal time.
