To the Shore boys
Please keep basic distance running going over the summer holidays and term 1, 2 runs 20-30 and 40-60 minutes is sufficient as well as skill / strength session weekly. Try to get to one weekly 300/600m session at Northbridge. Please contact me if you would like to compete in Interclub racing at Homebush track over the summer holidays, I would ask you to join my club Sydney Pacific which trains at Narrabeen track or Turramurra Oval, or UTS Norths which trains at Rotary Field, Chatswood. (see http://au.geocities.com/sydneypacific/ or www.nswathletics.org ). We also have a winter track series on Sun morning at Narrabeen track from 25/5-3/8, 10am-12pm. You need one track session per week over the rugby season and a time trial each month to monitor your endurance (3k) and speed (400m).  Monday 7-8am sessions will focus on drills, flexibility and specific skills.  Wed afternoon sessions at Northbridge will focus on harder track conditioning and throws/jumps strength.

Holiday training should be 1-2 longer runs 45 min+ and 6-10x300-600m interval sessions at moderate intensity with longer recovery (2mins+) to work on track specific speed or a hill rep session. You should continue one track interval session per week during term 2/3 (Northbridge A ground has a 440m white 'boundary' line for cricket).
