Frosty's thoughts on training

Dingos,

First, I'd like to send out a big round of ass slaps to the gimps. Tubs had his first run last tuesday and said he felt pretty good, Ant did a shit load of lunges on the sidelines last week and Jonathon's been given the all clear to swim and has been putting in the work. Nice work boys.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

My mate Frosty used to play football as a quarterback before he started playing frisbee and has a lot of great ideas on training. He's on the Condors now and will probably be developing their program for the next few years. He just sent me this article and it seems to be of interest. It might help some of us plan our fitness programs up to worlds.

It looks like Jack Blatherwick is an ice hockey trainer and has worked with NHL teams for a number of years.


I was going to post the article here, but it's pretty long. So, here's the link:

Aerobic Base Training

Nice one wollongong steve! I'm happy to ditch the aerobic crap. I totally agree about the muscle memory stuff.

We just need to develop some workouts we can do on our own that are as simple as walking out your door and going for a 20 minute run, but that include speedwork and explosive strength.

It also of course implies that we should be doing explosive work in the gym.

Still, at the moment, it's probably prudent for us to sort out injuries, build strength base etc. before we up the intensity.

Yeah good info Business Time.

I'm going to adjust my session this afternoon accordingly.
