[QUOTE="Major_Groobes, post: 384632, member: 49516"] I'm playing a little bit of social rugby after a gap of about 10 years (I'm 31 now). I'm pretty crap at rugby if I'm honest, but the one advantage I used to have was a bit of speed. However I've now lost that! So I'm looking for some training tips to try and improve my sprinting and acceleration for rugby. It's only social rugby and I don't have much time for training so it can't be anything /too/ involved. Would just going to the park and doing 10-20s sprints followed by walking recoveries be any use? I've been doing a lot of Googling around but can't find anything that suitable. Best guide I found was this: [url]http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/rugby1.htm[/url] My general aerobic fitness is very poor too - one sprint in a game and I'm wrecked - but I'm hoping that whatever sprint training I do will help me last a game of 7s.
