Click here for conditioning block 2.
As most of you are aware, the competition moves to a 22 round season (4 x extra rounds), to accommodate for the additional 2 teams, and unlike the 2012 season, the promotion/relegation system is back! – For more information on the competition re-structure – see HV Competition Structure 2013 and Beyond.
The 2013 season starts on April 6th/7th with a double header (1 x game Saturday & 1 x game Sunday)
There will be a heightened focus for AHC on fitness in 2013, and our programs will be delivered in blocks, for both pre-season and during season, to make sure we are peaking at the correct times.
Our preparation pre-Christmas will consist of both individual fitness and Compulsory Group Sessions.
Individual Fitness – Commence Monday 15th October
You will need to Complete 3 aerobic conditioning sessions per week (2-3 of which should be running on alternate days).
Your first 4 x Week program is attached – AHC conditioning Oct 2012(Wk1-4).
Although titled ‘Individual Fitness’, I would encourage you to set up satellite groups to work together with, as often this helps you push each other for maximum improvement!
Compulsory Full Group sessions – Only 4 x Pre-Christmas
Please be there 15 minutes prior to enable us to start on time.
1. Wednesday 14th November – 7pm AHC
2. Wednesday 21st November- 7pm Williamstown
3. Wednesday 28th November – 7pm Williamstown
4. Wednesday 5th December – 7pm AHC (Fitness session and Christmas Break up BBQ)
The other important thing that you will notice once you have read the program, is that our mid-week sessions are Wednesday nights, until March 12th, when we start Tues/Thurs sessions, so please make any necessary changes to your plans to accommodate for this change.
If you have any questions, please give me a call, or send me an email
