[QUOTE="Raph, post: 809848, member: 74155"] Hello there, folks. First of all, I'm new here. So I sincerely apologize if I break any TRF rule. If it happens, it'll be unintentional! And sorry also for my broken English! Well, I'm a late starter in playing rugby (I'm 30 - I live in Brazil, where rugby is still a minor sport, even though it's growing really fast) and I'm having an awesome time. I absolutely enjoy every single aspect of the sport. But I really need to improve my sprint/running skills. Problem is: I'm totally clueless in how I'm supposed to improve my fitness skills. I've going to the gym for quite a while and I've been seeing my general strength really improving lately. But when I'm on the pitch, either training or eventually playing, I lose my breath really fast. And I'm slow. I mean, really slow. I'd say glacial...lol. This is something that really puts me off and I'm really trying to come up a solution for this. One of the things that I started doing is going jogging. It really did improve my general condition, but I'm still way too far from where I want to be. I can run for a longer period, but I still get tired faster than I wish I did. And I don't feel it has helped me sprint faster. So, knowing that most of you guys come from places where rugby is played since early ages and aknowledging that you've got a fair share of experience in training (at least more than mine), I wonder if any of you could give me some advice in how I should train, either jogging, sprinting or both. Thanks in advance, lads! [/QUOTE]
