Full Rugby Speed Session [ Axe Rugby ]

Rugby Speed Session - Here is a rugby Speed session, This is a part of a Speed SERIES, Where I take you through Speed BLOCK of training 4-6 Weeks long. I am currently doing this myself, so please join me!
Rugby Speed Sessions Are Fun & Fast. However they take time to complete approx 30-45mins. Please follow these Steps of Rugby Speed Session!
1. WARM UP WELL- You dont want to pull a hammy or groin.
2. Technique Work- Even Usain Bolt has floors to his running, so technique drills are helpful to work on your problem areas!
3. Speed Blocks, 1-3 Speed blocks per session no more then 3 sets of 3-5 Reps Per Block. I don't do more then that when just doing PURE SPEED work.
4. Warm Down - Important!
5. Speed Sessions At least 1 Speed Session per week when out of season. No more then 2 sessions in a week for most rugby players
.
In Sprinting there are 2 phases. Acceleration (or angled Running) & Upright running (yes we are upright). In Rugby It can be rare to hit top speed for many players (forwards/tight 5). So it's important that we work on our acceleration in attack and in line speed for defence. Generally most work is done in the first 3 Steps. Having a quick acceleration can be the difference in many facets of a rugby game. Pay attention to the Wall marches and the first 2 blocks of running in this video.
For those that get to upright sprinting (at full speed). 15,14,11 Etc, we need to work on high heel lifts with our back leg, and getting off the ground quickly with running (minimal contact time with the ground).
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Intro & Warm Up
02:00 Technique Tips For Acceleration
02:53 Acceleration Technique Drills
04:30 Upright Sprint Technique Drills
06:17 Speed Session Blocks
I will explain much more about sprinting in more videos so stay tuned!
Cheers,
Alex

I was hoping to start on this and get ready for sevens season, will there be a week 2 or is it good enough to repeat this workout for a few weeks

[@AxeRugby]

Hi mate, thanks for reaching out, if you go to my website I have a pre season rugby plan up its gym preseason currently and will be updating for speed and cardio in the next 24-48hrs. Its free.

[@kwasi2388]

I was just wondering on how i could spread my training around during the week,
Monday Wednesday i have rugby training however it isnt until later so i usually have an 1 hour - 2 hours of spare time
Tuesday Thursday i go gym however i don't go until later as well so i usually have a few hours to spare
and friday is usually the day i rest before saturday
could I do this speed sesh before my rugby training or gym days?

[@AxeRugby]

sorry for late response. i have free trials on all my programs, if you want an example of how to do your weekly training.

Would it be fine if I did this before rugby training?

[@AxeRugby]

Provided you warm up well you can. But be careful if the coach has sprints in their session also
