"Providing handrails not handcuffs" - a conversation with Olly Logan

Olly Logan is 'Analysis Lead' at British Swimming. This is a rather misleading title as it doesn't really do justice to the role that Olly plays in supporting the development of elite British swimmers. As you will see from this conversation Olly's role is about using analysis, data, research and skill acquisition knowledge to devise interventions that will help the best get better.

In this fascinating conversation we explore a range of topics including:

• Why all road cyclists should do cyclo-cross

• Why we should keep the 'technical groove' as shallow as possible for as long as possible

• His very different take on 'the rule of 3'

• The ways he helped an existing Olympic Champion to become even better

This is one not to be missed...
