For today’s skills session we’re doing something a little bit different we’ve been focusing a lot on skills. This session we’re going to be doing shuttle runs with down-ups at every cone and we’re doing this because you can influence the outcomes of rugby games by winning things that don’t require skills.
Making your tackles getting getting up running back into the defensive line to make another tackle chasing kicks chasing someone who’s broken the line chasing them to make a covering tackle that can prevent a try .
So the down ups at every cone kind of simulate that tackle getting up and come running back
We’re going to be running backwards just because it builds up more lactic acid in the legs and makes it a lot harder So this is a great session to do at the end of your training session when you’re you’re already tired And you’ve just got to dig a bit deeper and it’ll pay off for you in the game So here we’ve put some cones out normally there’d be from the first cone here to the second would be 10 meters and then 20 meters to the third and 50 meters to the to the last cone
Today we’re going to be starting lying down when the coach blows the whistle we get up run to the second cone drop down up run backwards down up run to the third cone down up backwards down up and then sprint to the last cone and the recovery is just walking back to the start
And then we go again you do that about 10 times and that’s it you can do two sets if you one two three sets depending on how how much your team needs.
