ANOTHER VISIT TO HARVARD


Trackspeed1 coach John Powell was again visiting Harvard University this weekend, with one of his athletes tagging along for the experience, this time in the form of Phillip Doorgachurn.  

Four weeks previously he had spent a week Stateside with James Ellington, Jason Hussain, and former TS1 sprinter Dwayne Grant, all of whom were able to experience first hand the stunning facilities at the Ivy League college.

Harvard boasts possibly the most comprehensive strength and conditioning facility in the USA, and one of the fastest indoor straights in the world.  It truly puts to shame some of even the better facilities in the UK, including Crystal Palace.

Doorgachurn, who has spent the winter concentrating on moving up from the 100/200m programme to more 400m focussed work, trained with Trackspeed1 USA's Harvard graduate Kobie Fuller today (29th March), and is pictured here with him at the facility.  He will revisit the track tomorrow to work out before returning to the UK overnight Monday/Tuesday.
