Training is well and truly in full swing after an early start on November 2nd. Over 100 players have stepped onto the track in the first 3 weeks and we have been pleased with the attitude shown by all of them.
There has been a real edge and purpose about our early training and that has been led by senior players like Roberts, Robinson and Geappen who have come back in superb shape. Andrew Budge had been employed to oversee our strength and conditioning program.
We are in a fierce phase of training as we try to develop an endurance base that will allow us to compete strongly with the elite teams in terms of running power. Sessions at Kings Park and the WA Marathon Club have been tough work, but the boys have handled them very well.
A light week in terms of running volume lies ahead, before we load the boys up again with some heavy work. We are slowly working towards producing a team that will be bigger, stronger and more prepared to gut run than ever.
