rugby training
it seems tuesdays are the main fitness day and thursdays are more about technique, passing, etc
i think this is the plan but tonight was not exactly easy on the fitness side, it didnt help that i couldnt run due to the blister which rubbed everytime i ran, this put me a bit off the pace which is bad in HIT training, tonight session included
1) ball work, catch the ball run to the next man and back before it gets round the four of you (in a square) - about 6 drills of this
2) sprinting half the lengtrh of the pitch - did this about 5 times, i sat one out though as i was in agony, on most i just went on adrenalin [8D]
3) an exercise where you run past four lads, set at a set distance apart, the first lad throws it you eun onto the pass and give it back to them, then move onto the next lad - we did this twice then swopped but i somehow didnt get to be the lad who threw the ball then so i ended up doing it another 4 times before i got to do it (and have a rest) [

4) running and popping the ball to one side constantly (popping is just throwing the ball into the air for the next man to catch), doign this constantly for about 50 yeards, then coming back (4 of you)
5) doing the same as 4) but doign a few different things, the first man does a front roll and pops the ball, the next man catches it and side passes it to the next man, he puts it down, the next man pops it, then your back to the front rolls
6) a bit of three man scrumming, learning who does what, who stands where and how to kee pyour head up
7) a few lifts, learning how to pick people up, like you see when they go up for the ball, learnign who stands where and who does what
good session, good fun [
