Mountain biker Janika Lõiv has a new coach, Norwegian national Ove Sollie. With the aim of building up the two-time Olympian’s endurance, speed, and technical skill.
The partnership is not all that new in fact; Lõiv and Sollie have been working together for six months now.
Lõiv told ERR: “I got to him through the Norwegian national team, who recommended him. Why did I choose him in particular? I think it was his great desire to coach me specifically, such enthusiasm and the willingness to discuss everything with me.”
Sollie brings broad experience, having advised athletes from various endurance disciplines.
Since beginning their collaboration, Lõiv has trained under his science-based approach, with a heavy focus on aerobic capacity through five-hour rides and high-effort intervals.
