Hi Luke, real helpful stuff there not really any seriously steep hills in my area , there’s one near my house that’s a segment on Strava of a about 6% grade would that be enough for an effective hil sprint workout?
@@diarmo4048 Hi 😃 its obviously not the steepest hill but if you perform the session with intent and maybe add anther 5-10m sprint to the reps you should get a good stimulus.
@@olebogenglesego32 You can still do this session on the flat, I would increase the distance you are sprinting by maybe 10ms. Running with intent to hit max speed will still make you faster.
@@luketreharneTi7s @austin Keil I agree. I discovered this channel a few days ago where I'm trying to build a googlesheet document for great training videos for my son's training (u12's). So far 11 of 13 videos are Lukes!
Been looking for speed training for my 11 year old son, especially because of lockdown! Great to have found this, Luke. Thanks. He thinks you’re a great side stepper as well, but says Phil Bennett will always be the greatest 😆 😉. Cheers. Ed
@@luketreharneTi7s dare I admit it, I’m an Englishman, but can’t help look to the great welsh players, especially the likes of Bennett, Edwards, JPR, JJ Williams, Barry John, Gerald Davies etc.. for the flare and creativity. An Englishman using the Welsh legends as a reference for his son haha. Great to see you still playing in that tradition. All best.
Hi there. As a person having recently recovered from large scale leg surgery and just starting Rugby, I love this in depth informative video about sprinting as it really helps me train for proper running form again. I have one question about the speed and form drills; how many reps of each drill should I do or should I just do each drill once?
Hey 😀 I hope the recovery is going well after the surgery and you're enjoying rugby! Its completely up to you with speed drills but I normally do 2 sets of each exercise, doing 10 reps or 10ms for each set.
@@horty913 Hey, so it is either or. So you can do 10ms of single change overs and count that as 1 rep. Or you can do 10 single change overs and count that as 1 rep.
Great question! Heres the first video I did on passing ruclips.net/video/XXX2J6oello/видео.html . I'll be doing more on this, hopefully this helps for now 😁
Luke. Truely great videos for a Dad and Son working together. A question for you. We live in a relatively flat area and will need to travel far to get a hill. We've recently purchase a bungee cord (full on beasting sessions with this!). In your opinion could/would the bungee cord replicate the hill training? I can't quite work out if you've chosen a hill for the resistance or the angles on the muscles. Thoughts?
Hey Lee, the hill is a mixture of the resistance and the body angles. Both helping towards getting quicker. I think a bungee could work in a similar way depending on the resistance. You want to be able to get into good body angles with the resistance but not too much resistance that it affects the form and you're just slogging away. Hope that helps.
Hi, Luke, I am almost 47 and still playing 1st team rugby as an 11. Any speed/strength exercises you could recommend that I should focus on away from our rugby training nights? Thank you
Awesome to hear you're still playing! If you head over to our Instagram (@this_is_7s) there are lots of running and weights sessions on there from the last 12 months of GB camps. Always good to focus on prehab away from training nights as well.
Hey 😃 so I normally do 3 reps on each of the speed drills with a slow walk back recovery. I do 3 reps of the 3 step drives. 1 rep each of the 80 + 90%. With walk back recoveries but take as much time as you need. Fitness hill sprints - 3 sets of 8-10 reps going every 30s. With 3 mins rest between sets. Power hill sprints - 3 sets of 5 reps going every 1:30 (or full recovery). Take 2-3min rest between sets. Maximun intensity and quality.
Hey Matt, so for a fitness type session. I would do something like 3 sets of 8 reps. The reps start every 30s. So you may need to jog back down the hill to be there in time. I rest for 3 mins between sets then. 👌
We would normally do 2 speeds sessions a week. One concentrating on top end speed and the other on acceleration. Both would incorporated speed drills though.
I always run before gym so that you are as fresh as possible to sprint and not fatigued/risking injury. I do acceleration focus on a tuesday followed by Lowerbody and top end speed on friday followed by lower body
Hi Marshy, the best thing I'd recommend is being consistent with your training. Getting quicker takes a fair bit of time. Compound lifts (more than one muscle group at a time) are useful in the gym. Lots of people work on their quads but forget about their posterior chain (muscles on the back of the body) that help with explosive power. So spending time working on hamstrings and glutes is really useful. Start off with bodyweight exercises to get used to moving properly and then you can add resistance/weight. Hope that helps

hey luke I've been watching your videos and they are all awesome! So simple but so effective!!! keep it coming!!
Hey Jean! Very glad to hear 🙌 we will keep them coming!
Things you think about when beating someone one on one. Any specific triggers? Or any ways you manipulate defenders?
Love the content as always Lukey!
Yes Conor, can definitely do one of these!
Great videos , especially useful for our students at Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro-Dur . Diolch Luke.

Nice work man you performed great techneek and teaching
Thank you 🙌
Fantastic drills
Appreciate it Alan
Good stuff! Thank you!
Thank you 😀
Can u do some exercises for side stepping
This is brilliant
Thanks Sam 😀 hope it helps!
how should you be holding the ball when passing? loved the video

Luke, do you have any gym videos for speed training?
Hi David, we haven’t got one just yet but I’ll add it to the list of requested videos 🙌

how many reps are you doing for each drill? What's the break time in between?
Hey 😃 so I normally do 3 reps on each of the speed drills with a slow walk back recovery.

Power hill sprints - 3 sets of 5 reps going every 1:30 (or full recovery). Take 2-3min rest between sets. Maximun intensity and quality.
Hey, would this be effective in Rugby League?
Yeah for sure!
what sets/reps/rest do you recommend for a fitness type high rest low rest sessions of hill sprints?
Hey Matt, so for a fitness type session. I would do something like 3 sets of 8 reps. The reps start every 30s. So you may need to jog back down the hill to be there in time. I rest for 3 mins between sets then. 👌
How many times a week should one do these drills and sprints?
We would normally do 2 speeds sessions a week. One concentrating on top end speed and the other on acceleration. Both would incorporated speed drills though.
Lovely
👊
Hi Luke, would it help if I were to put ankle wrists?
Hey Katleho, what do you mean by ankle wrists?
How would you programme a speed session like this with a lower body strength gym session in a week of training?
I always run before gym so that you are as fresh as possible to sprint and not fatigued/risking injury.
I do acceleration focus on a tuesday followed by Lowerbody and top end speed on friday followed by lower body
Do a nutrition video
Sounds good, will have a look at doing one on this 👌
