Focus on Sprint Work vs Long distance running.
Include some Fartlek training in your weekly regeime.
Parachutes or sleds are great.
Box Jumps.
Stair Sprints.
Strength training: Squats (focus on your form, not the weight), leg extensions, leg curls, calf raises, lunges.
Read through Universitas Rugbeia. You'll find a lot of advice, sample workouts, explanation for the terms like "Farlek" etc.
Hit us back with any questions and let us know how you're progressing.[/b]
Very good point.
One of the best sprint training activities i found was the 'field sprint'.
Stand under your rugby posts, start your stop watch and sprint to the other end of the field. Wait for 20 seconds to pass on your stop watch and then sprint back up to the other end of the field.
At first you should reach the posts with at least 9 seconds to spare, so you can catch your breath, but doing this 10 times, you don't make it to the end as fast and therefore your rest period shortens eveytime.
If, before your 10 field sprints are over, you take more than 20 seconds to run the length of the field then your aim is to keep coming back until you can do it.
Then keep improving.
3 minutes 20 is all the time it takes. But it f***s me over well and truly.[/b]
