Training Day: Pep鈥檚 Office, Sauna Club and Riyad鈥檚 Pasta

Kyle gives the lowdown on football club training grounds, what Pep Guardiola鈥檚 office smells like and reveals who鈥檚 in the Man City and England Sauna Clubs.

What does Pep Guardiola鈥檚 office smell like? Who鈥檚 in the Man City and England Sauna Clubs? And why did Riyad Mahrez have his own pasta?

Kyle is taking us into the inner sanctum in this episode of the pod as we learn what really goes on at a Premier League club training ground. He reveals how often Pep is on the training ground, what they chat about in their one-on-ones and why the gaffer鈥檚 office always smells so nice.

We learn what footballers keep in their lockers and how one QPR player鈥檚 bad breath led to his being messed with. We hear about the hi-tech equipment required to keep elite athletes going like cryogenic chambers and recovery pods, while Browny recalls the old days when the communal bath would become an impromptu diving pool.

We also get taken through a regular week at Manchester City: how long they train for, why insomnia is a problem after games and which is the most important training session of the week.

And for the first time, a listener is invited into the studio to prove if they can really beat Kyle Walker. But who will prevail in the Three Cracker Challenge?
