My name is Jessica Bray and I am a 15 year old female from the Waikato, here in New Zealand.
I have been training with Ray for a little over 3 months and man have I learnt a lot.
It has really been a mental and physical journey but I have loved every aspect.
Developing your VO2 max without overdoing things will give great fitness benefits, but doing too many intervals at high intensity will force the body to recover, limiting and restricting further fitness gains.

This session is great for triathletes, road cyclists, and mountain bikers.
