PPP Episode 17: A Return to Structured Training with Sean Rice
Listen now
Description
Today we connect for a second podcast with the red hot Sean Rice. Sean may well be the fastest surfski paddler in the world right now. He started off the year with a win and course record at the Amsterdam Waterland Marathon, then took his first win at Molokai and just recently won the Nelo Summer Challenge. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a win this weekend at the the Canadian Surfski Champs and next weekend at the Gorge Downwind Festival. Below is just a highlight of some of the key topics we cover in this 1 hour conversation: * Relocating to the UK and getting back to structured training * The difference between being K1 fit and Surfski fit * Breakdown of a week of training for Sean * Working with Haylie Nixon, doing paddle specific training &  gym work * Sean's favorite cross training activity and why * Racing the Amsterdam Waterland Marathon as an unknown and getting the victory and course record.  Here is a link to the very short but well done video Sean mentions * Sean's first ever Molokai win (choosing a good line and not taking any strokes in anger) * Thoughts on the future of destination surfski paddling/coaching and a couple of his favorite places in Europe including Tarifa and the Canary Islands * Words of wisdom for maximizing your fun and learning in Hood River and having a good race day strategy * Sean’s new on-line coaching offering: https://www.huksucoaching.com * The Paddle Life Tour Schedule * Plans for crossing the English Channel, possibly setting a record
