Ellen also discusses her motivation and focus heading towards the Paralympic Games in Rio in 2016.
Training for Ellen is about making small strides every time you train. Making sure every session counts towards the goal she is working towards.
She also gives some fantastic advice that every athlete could use:
Everyday when I wake up I'm focused about that day. I'm not focused on 365 days but I'm focused on each day as it comes.
