Screen 1 (20 mins)

- Can be set up using a full pitch or adapted depending on outcome of session

- Players to run hard - 8-10RPE in a zig zag until they pass the opposite pole on the other side of the pitch

- Players will have a recovery jog down the side of the pitch and start the next interval. The number of intervals is determined by the coach.

- The session can be adapted by changing the pace between poles / increasing recovery run to around 3/4 of the pitch (opposite way) / adding competition by having players start at opposite sides of the pitch and racing

- Aim - to develop anaerobic system - related to recovery runs / supporting runs
