CUBAN METHOD
In 2018 he moved to Formia, Italy, to work with Cuban hurdles coach Santiago Antunez. He says the Cuban system of coaching, under Antunez, is very different to European methods and changed his approach to training. "He [Antunez] has remarked a lot that the Cuban system, which I guess he kind of developed, is very different to anything he's seen in Europe. He said, from his perspective, that in Europe there's a real rush to make everything quantifiable, you have to run super fast on the track, you have to lift heavier and heavier weights in the gym, but he feels co-ordination, mobility and technique is very overlooked. In the winter we were doing a lot of rhythm-based exercises. We had salsa music on and all this stuff. You have various hurdles out, there's music playing and for a set period of time you're going back and forth over these hurdles. It's for hip mobility, for rhythm and it was very strange. I wondered what I'd let myself in for in the first couple of weeks." (athleticsweekly.com, 30 Sep 2019)
