[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 143194"] Howzit Matt. Just a couple of questions before I can offer any advice. What position do you play? Because that`ll determine a lot of the type of fitness/strength training that you`ll need to do. For instance, a prop will need a helluva lot of leg and shoulder strength, while a flanker will need to work a lot on arm strength. In general, it`s good to work on those 5-7km runs, improving general fitness to get you through the 80 minutes. But, in rugby you generally do a lot of short, sharp sprints. So your type of running training will also depend on your position. If you`re in the backline or back row, you`ll need to get some intense sprint sessions in too, in order to increase general speed.
