Former British No. 1 tennis player and current Sky Sports Tennis personality, Laura Robson, has undertaken an intensive and geographically varied training regimen in anticipation of the upcoming London Marathon in April. Her demanding preparations have seen her traverse continents, with rigorous sessions conducted in distinct locales such as sun-drenched Melbourne, the picturesque Milan Cortina region, and vibrant Miami.
After pushing her physical limits through what she candidly describes as ‘brutal’ training blocks in these diverse environments, Robson is now entering the critical tapering phase. This period involves a reduction in training intensity, allowing her body to recover and store energy, ensuring she is in optimal condition to tackle the iconic 26.2-mile course through the heart of London. Her inspiring journey underscores the immense dedication required to transition from a professional tennis career to the formidable endurance challenge of a marathon.
