Josip Pivaric: “We live like one family with Verbic”

- I do the training program we get via our team chat. I have sessions every day except for Sunday. I don’t have any health issues and feel great. Five times a week I go to our training complex to do jogging.

I go to Koncha-Zaspa with Verbic. We leave the car at the parking lot and head straight to the field. We only get out GPS transmitters at the reception.

Once a week Vitaliy (physical trainer) sends video of tabata training sessions to our chat. Such session last 55-60 minutes. I must say they’re the toughest.

- Do you and Verbic put masks on when you meet? Aren’t you afraid to get infected?

- We aren’t as we see each other at home almost every day. Ben and I don’t go anywhere. We only go out for groceries sometimes, but we stick to all quarantine restrictions and recommendations. We put gloves and masks on. Ben is in touch only with his brother, who’s staying at his place during the quarantine. They often come to our apartment, so we live like one family (laughing): my wife and I, kids, Verbic and his brother. I work out with Ben too.

- Do coaches say anything about work in groups?

- So far they don’t. The situation is unpredictable. Of course we all want to get back to normal training process as soon as possible.

- How do you spend your free time?

- I have two kids, so I’m never bored (laughing). My daughter is six and my son is four. They’re getting ready for school, learning to write and stuff. Sometimes we even play football inside. I also watch quite a lot of series with my wife.

- What are your five favourite series?

- “La Casa de Papel”, “Prison break”, “Game of thrones”, “Homeland” and “Scandal”.
