It was a cold, windy and sunny day, and I was nervous and excited at the prospect of going through the Welsh Rugby team’s training regime – particularly as they were watching! Having never played rugby, I was completely open minded and ready for anything….
The training consisted of intense seven minutes blocks of hard anaerobic work and sprinting with really short recoveries (if you can call them that!). I already had a huge admiration for the players, which grew as I experienced first hand what they put their bodies through – the training I received was a lot more forgiving than they would experience, and for them it is on an almost daily basis. The speed, power and endurance these players have is awesome – especially when you consider their size and weight.
