We can’t all partner with Andy Murray, but there’s a lot you can learn from Olympic silver medallist and former Junior Wimbledon Champion Laura Robson. New balls, please!

1/ Mix it up

“My workout changes every day. Every second day is weights and the rest is on the track or recovery.”

2/ Building fast-twitch muscle doesn’t just mean sprints

“In the gym I’m working on fast twitch fibres so a lot of deadlifts, non weight-bearing lunges and pull-ups”

3/ Have a killer exercise

“A lunge with a bar on my shoulders which has helped me a lot. I push off as fast as I can”

4/ Get competitive with your training buddy or PT

“We get super competitive – he [my coach] is better at short and I’m better at long sprints so it’s game on. I’m starting to think he chooses exercises on purpose because he’s better at them”

5/ Eat a proper breakfast with some carbs

“I have porridge no matter the weather, and add fruits and seeds”

6/ Motivate with music

“My iPod is always on in the gym and everyone complains about it. It varies between 80s music and rap. John Farnham ‘You’re the Voice’ pumps me up every time. It’s very inspirational!”

7/ Need a Plan B? Make it work for you.

“So far this year I’ve only played one full match but hopefully that’ll be cleared up soon and I can get going. It’s a good time to get in more fitness work.”

8/ Spice up your protein

“I’m going through a salmon phase at the moment. There’s a Jamie Oliver recipe I love with a homemade salsa with chilli.”

9/ Add protein to smoothies

“There’s an open blender in one of the gyms which you can add anything into and I add a scoop of protein”

10/ Be prepared with healthy snacks

“Tournaments are tough because you never know what time you’re going to be playing, so you always have to be ready with gels or fruit and snack appropriately.”
