Fitness Training for Rugby

Get big guns

As the new rugby season draws closer, pre-season training steps up a gear and Rugby Fitness expert Sam Tomkins has produced two free guides for readers of The Rugby Blog.

The first is a guide to Interval Training, designed to improve fitness levels specifically for rugby. Sessions have been created to emulate the demands of a rugby match so that you can hit the ground running in September.

The second is a Strength Training program to build muscle and improve stamina, with specific sessions for pre-season and in-season.

Both are in an easy to print format so that you have no excuses for not taking them with you to training. For more information, or for a personalised training program, contact Sam Tomkins of 3 Peaks Fitness.
