About the video

“The pain hits you within the first two minutes!”

“It’s awful in terms of lactate build-up…”

“Why would you put yourself in that much pain…?”

To do well you’ll need a relentless rhythm, all your teammates cheering you on and most importantly a big bowl of porridge for breakfast!
