Training Programmes to suit your goals
By aligning training with both the rugby season and the athlete's individual objectives, we can enhance performance in the short term and ensure sustained improvement over time. The sport of rugby is constantly evolving, and it is essential to adapt or risk being outpaced.

Block 1 - Functional Hypertrophy

Improve muscular capacity
Develop tolerance for future running load
Block 2 - Strength
Convert size into strength
Build robustness for running and contact
Block 3 - Strength Speed (conversion to power)

Who’s this for?
Any player looking to improve their performance and resilience for the upcoming season. All main lifts have regressions and progressions so there should be something for experience level!

Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS) refers to the slowest running speed at which maximal oxygen uptake occurs (VO2 max) - i.e. the speed at which your aerobic system is optimally utilised.
We train this energy system by running intervals at percentages of your MAS score with strict work to rest ratios.
Through this method of training we can improve your running efficiency, running load tolerance, and aerobic power. All these attributes help you play faster, for longer.
This programme includes:
Bronco test protocol
Maximal Aerobic Speed Calculator
a bespoke 6 week progressive fitness programme
based on 2x per week running sessions
target meters to cover based on your ability to maximise your training adaptations
