“Increasing the strength and endurance is critical and this running schedule is helping us do that. It becomes monotonous when you are following the same routine, so change is always good, fun and helps us to challenge ourselves more. The run that we have been doing every week, I have personally tried every time to better it,” Mary Kom told TOI on Thursday.
Coach Bergamasco was also impressed by the dedication shown by his squad. Preparations seem on track but only time will tell if the women are able to finish on the podium next month.
“Preparation for the World started eight months back. Over the last three weeks, we are working on quantity for endurance and the next three weeks we’ll concentrate on quality for focus on the tournament,” the Italian told TOI.
