"We train twelve times a week, twice a day. We only have time off on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons. One training unit lasts from about an hour to even more than two hours. The intensity and volume of exercises varies. And then come the morning routines. It all adds up to many, many hours. We push our bodies to the limit, explains Szymon Pośnik. "We prepare in Poland, for example in Szklarska Poręba, where we do cross-country skiing. We also go abroad, because our winters are not very kind to rowers. Then it’s a merry-go-round: training camps, competitions… Each participation prepares us for the event of the season. Just before the most important competitions we go to Zakopane, and then to Wałcz, where we have a water camp. Already at the venue, before the racing starts, we familiarise ourselves with the course. This is an essential part of the training."
