Since I am playing rugby now I have run into a problem. Rugby is 40 minutes of continuous play where you get hit and you have to pop back up and start running again. It's not like football where you are tackled and then you start a new play. Well I need to know how to increase my speed and endurance, is there a site that has good examples of running excercises?

 

Found something Don't worry about it

 

Share what you found?

 

i play soccer and hockey both of which have similar demands...

in addition to running i rollerblade and run sprints to increase my explosiveness and lateral motion...

also being explosive while pressing the weight away from you is supposed to help build "fast-twitch" muscles or something...well thats what i read, if someone has more insight please offer it...

 

I don't know if it's universal but it basically describes what rugby positions need what excercises...

take martial arts... not at some "mcdojo" but a place that teaches you in the traditional way.

IMO kendo is a great way to speed up your reflexes and reaction

 

judo made me so much more powerful and quick on my toes


for getting endurance, from what ive heard, running uphill or sprinting for a block/jog a block/sprint a block in a cycle work
