Hillsprints, great for power etc. Plus they are good for all players. Have a set distance, line em up and smash them out.
Could be good to put some strength stuff in so the bigger lads can shine a bit. If they aren't gassed of course!
Maybe sweeten the fitness side of the deal by making a bet with them? -
@MN5 said in Pre-season Fitness:
Make them run until they spew.
Next time make sure they run further before spewing.
I hope this advice helps.
Get them to scull water first?
Piggy back races might be popular. Strength, stamina and a bit of fun.

haha TR Jnr wanted to see what I had in store for his team, so yesterday we went down the park and did what I had planned for session 1 (minus the game of touch)
Started with a bronco (he did his best time of 6.37)
Then into a 'Malcolm' (start on halfway line, on stomach, up, back peddle to 10m down on stomach, up and sprint to other 10m, down on stomach, back to centre....repeat) do those 40 sec work, 40 sec rest - he reckons he wanted to vomit cos his last 40 he went further than any of the others - 18mins all up
Then sprint for 10 seconds, rest for 20, sprints for 10 etc - 8mins here
Then a circuit of shuttles, burpees, crawls, etc..he said was pretty dumb compared to the other stuff, so will re-think the last one. -
@taniwharugby Anyone who can do all that is plenty fit enough.

Too young perhaps?

All Blacks Podcast latest episode features Nic Gill. You may pick up a few tips.
Edit: Interesting snippet. BBBT used to eat only a banana sandwich four hours before playing. Same thing always since he was 12. Must have been some pretty good bananas

We had our first hitout on Tuesday, was bloody hot!!
Only 1 boy vomitted!

@taniwharugby boo, obviously went far to easy on em!!
Pregame kai for me was a banana and an up and go. Never liked to have a bit meal and that was easy to get down. Also quite good as a hangover meal 😁 -
@Paekakboyz haha well I was running a few minutes late and the other coach set up a couple of other drills, so they def got away with an easier night
Although the malcolm was a killer in the heat...will set up under the big trees next week for some shade!
