I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you're going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.

I do some 400 m. repetition running for endurance on the court. I'll be in the gym lifting weights, or I'll be putting in a lot of core stability to work to improve my balance.

On the actual competition days, you get about three or four hours of physical exertion - between an hour-long warm-up, recovery in-between runs, the training runs, and then the runs themselves.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

I've got a personal trainer, and I train three times a week.

I ride a bike and use aerobic equipment twice a week, and work out with a trainer, lifting weights.

At the gym, I do full-body circuits with low weights and high repetitions, as well as four or five cardio intervals thrown into the mix. I put a lot of emphasis on core strength and flexibility training. I also do a lot of running in my free time. Anytime I can move my cardio outside in the sunshine, I do.

I train about six days a week. I'm training at the same intensity as I did when I was playing football. I've done it for my entire life, and I love it.

I train for around 3-4 hours everyday. It can go up to 6-7 hours when a competition is approaching.

I can always do five, five-minute rounds, any day, even if I was drinking yesterday or doing whatever. I'm a seasoned athlete, an endurance athlete, and I'm always working out.
