I run year-round and then ramp up my training for a race a few months before.

Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action.

I'm disappointed that I really haven't been able to race in a way that is reflective of the amount of work that I have done and how I have trained. But I don't regret giving this a go.

The real preparation for races is done in the off-season. I put in the hard work during the summer and fall, and I'm always working on technique so that when the actual races come around I'm ready to go.

My focus is definitely on the racing.

I would like to run about 15 stock car races a year. That would be my goal.

I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.

I must refine my training every day to give myself the best opportunity to achieve my dreams during the Olympic Games in Rio.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

If I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.
