Show Notes
Today I have a conversation with Quentin Rew. I’ve known Q since university and have worked him a few times as physiotherapists. As well as being a physiotherapist Quentin is also a racewalker. He competed in the London Olympics in the 50k racewalk, and is building up to the Rio Olympics. He holds the New Zealand Records for the 3k track racewalk, the 20k racewalk and is only seconds off the 15 year old 50k record.
Today we delve into a few things
We talk through some of the intricacies of racewalking
Have a look at his build up to the Olympics and what the vibe is like in the Olympic village
Preparing mentally for a challenge – starting out fast is not the best idea – start at a pace you can sustain.
His secrets of nutrition and the main supplements that he takes.
The things that aren’t going well are usually changeable if we review them
It’s an ongoing process looking at what is going well and what isn’t and consistently course correcting
The importance of finding people who will provide you with honest feedback.
I had a great time chatting with Q and can't wait to watch him compete. You can follow him here as he builds up to the Olympics.
