Most of the time, I do ten training sessions per week, eight on the water and 2 in the gym.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: In the lead up to a competition, how do you prepare? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> In the time preceding a competition, I try to charge up, mentally and physically, to be as fresh as possible on the starting line. Usually, in the ten days before the competition, I don&#8217;t do much training, only what is necessary to stay in shape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How do SKINS compression garments help you in training, competition and recovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I haven&#8217;t used the SKINS compression garments in a competition so far, but I used them a lot in training, almost every day. I feel great wearing SKINS, and if I feel good, I can push myself to a new level. During the high-intensity training sessions, I feel that my muscles are well supported, giving me the confidence I need to keep going. For recovery, I use long tights, which help in reducing the soreness after the workout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do you have anything unique to your training regime?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t have any training partners, and I&#8217;m always trying to beat yesterday&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do you have any superstitions\/ pre-competition rituals?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t have any superstitions or rituals; I just try to repeat in competition what I usually do in training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What do you think separates you mentally from other athletes? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Probably perseverance. No matter the outcome, I will keep going.<\/p>\n<p>Interview has been edited for length and clarity.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinscompression.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/07\/LORENA-3.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"all-786281b9\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"LORENA 3\"><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinscompression.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/07\/LORENA-2.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"all-786281b9\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"LORENA 2\"><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinscompression.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/07\/LORENA-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"all-786281b9\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"LORENA 1\"><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/manolicalorena\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Follow Lorena on Instagram.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skins_compression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Follow SKINS on Instagram.<\/b><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorena is a determined and driven twenty-something-year-old sprint kayaker and SKINS Ambassador&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26632,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[141],"tags":[124],"class_list":["post-26625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ambassadors-partners","tag-skins-ambassadors"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
