Running into 2008

Run into 2008

The intensity of summer is subsiding, the season is beginning, motivation to perform is high. These are the reasons that I am writing this series of articles aimed at assisting and persuading our players to increase fitness through running this autumn and winter.

Reasons
I think the non-rugby reasons for running are well known. A couple of rugby reasons are:
If you are out of position at any point in the match, and cannot run to get back in position, your lack of fitness is harming the team!
Tired players are lazy and clumsy. How many times have you seen a team that sparkles for 50 minutes, then starts to commit handling errors and choose dull options? Good fitness can get you through the 80.
Leg speed (backs) and strength (forwards) can increase with run training.
