Did you have some time off after the Commonwealth Games?
I did! My coach (Adam Didyk) and I had planned a longer than usual 'rest' period post-Glasgow for a mental as much as a physical break from normal the training routine. As it turned out, I sustained a metatarsal bone...
How do you feel 2014 was as a whole? Indoor, outdoor and Europe?
