Hey, I hope you enjoyed the previous post I did on how many
sets and reps you suppose to be doing
In case you missed it, you can read it by clicking the link
below
So another question I get asked a lot is “what sort of rugby
fitness should I be doing during the pre season”…
And I’ll use the same answer as in the previous post…
It depends…
Again it depends on what phase of your pre season you are in
But here are some guidelines
Each of these phases last from 4-6 weeks
PHASE 1: BASIC
CONDITIONING
This is generally the phase before team pre season starts…
You are still training on your own or you might be training
with 1 or 2 team mates…
During this phase you want to generally just keep up your
cardio vascular fitness, while still giving your body and joints a bit of a
rest from the long season behind you.
We won’t do anything too intensive in this period…
You can use indoor and outdoor bikes, rowing and circuits
When it comes to running, we’ll do longer distances. Maybe a
20-30min steady run, 800m runs, 400m runs and longer shuttles
You do want to challenge yourself a bit during these
sessions, so make sure that you are measuring them.
If you are running specific distances, try and improve on
your times…
And if you are running set times, make sure that you are
trying to increase the distance covered
The guys that are busy doing our RUGBY BEAST MODE program have a 2 day conditioning split
They first test themselves doing the 1 MILE BEAST MODE SHUTTLE
They then alternate between gym and conditioning days, and
each conditioning day the alternate between conditioning session 1 or 2
They track their progress and retest themselves every few
weeks to see you they are improving
And that is the key to improving your rugby fitness
TEST YOURSELF ->
COMMIT TO PUSHING YOURSELF -> RETEST = PROGRESS
If you want to join the rest of the guys in the BEAST MODE
program and get yourself ready for pre season
Again is a £24 investment in yourself and this season, but
it is well worth it… And I’ll even give you a money back guarantee…
