Favourite training venue
Only really ever trained at Richmond, but the 'runway' is a cool 200m sheltered strech of water, just up from Richmond Club.

Favourite racing venue
Nottingham, never been elsewhere though

Favourate session
200m time trials

Current training
Training with Gavin Turrell once/twice per week focusing on speed and power for 200m, but coach's main focus is trying to build aerobic fitness quickly, so alot of fitness training.

What should be done to promote 200m in UK
The event needs to be taken much more seriously, its an amazing event of pure power and speed, and people should be given the same oppertunitys to race it as 500m and 1000m.
