Pre-Season - get started!

The 2013 AGSV Aths Season commences in Term 3, but serious athletes are already commencing some pre-season training. Supplementing your Winter Sport competition with some strength and conditioning work (especially for sprinters/throwers/jumpers) can give you a head start for the relatively short AGSV season. Distance runners should also be building their base fitness so they can add  speed and strength to their existing endurance once the season begins in earnest. Don't underestimate the value of a gentle run to improve your cardio fitness and also avoid injury caused by a sudden increase in track work in August!
If you would like any specific training programmes, speak to Mr. Rayner or the One Wish Team at the gym at lunchtimes. In addition, some senior boys might like to take advantage of Monday Afternoon's with Gregor Evans, who is building our 4x400m team with some grass track and hills sessions.
Every little bit helps!

For those who are interested in planning their training in advance here is the link to the 2013 Season Schedule.
