With just about two weeks to competition day, Mahadeo has indicated that training has been intense with the volume of exercises also increasing.
“So a lot more time and effort have been put into body composition, nutrition and sleep and really trying to dial in those little things out of the gym because in the gym we push our bodies to the limit. So I am trying to focus on the nutrition and recovery aspect.”
It was further pointed out by Mahadeo that lost of the things he is now doing he is not accustomed to and is out of his comfort zone a lot: “A lot of running, swimming, biking, long endurance stuff while still trying to maintain my strength. So, everything is basically coming together right now, as I mentioned, the intensity has increased so I’m just trying to stay focused with my mental game as well and be prepared as possible.”
