Training Apples' Training Threads 2018/19

[Apples]

Were last year's times taken from day one also?

November 25th I think. First week back.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Yes, but these guys run with stopwatches on so they can pace themselves, which is why its a little strange for the times to drop so much, coaches generally tell players to give it 100%... theres really no reason to take it easy

IIRC there’s another time trial later in the pre-season. Maybe they sandbag this one to show a pre-season training improvement?

Sower times could be for a variety of reasons.They may simply have done what this board yells out for when we get a few injuries - softened the playing field. More give in the ground would result in slower times.

I’m pretty sure they use the running track surrounding the ground for TT’s

Bingo

Aerobic capacity improves with age, up until a point but definitely for an AFL player

Aerobic capacity and VO2 max will begin to decrease from around 25yrs of age.

why didn't they do that last year then? And why would the coaches be okay with that? It'd be pretty obvious to see if players weren't going 100%

Training Report: Monday December 3, 2018: Full List Time Trial
Cool & breezy 18

13. Darren Crocker

Subbing for Ben? Still goes okay for an old fella.

 

[jackcass]

Is that Tyler Brown next to Sier? He’s put on some height if it is. He’ll be as tall as Murphy soon!

Ditto Wills in a later photo next to Sier and Keane.

Thanks for the info
Great to see big lynchy running a great time
Certainly seams to be running laps always when I'm there and reports I read
Doing the work

Could have a big year this year

Don't worry about the times of cox and grundy
Both run with their mate darcy and supported

 

[Mkcaptain]

Bingo

Well that isn't a good thing if they have done that

 

[Kilmo]

Rupert Wills is unlikely to have grown much at 25. Does look big though

Cox and Grundy had to slow down so Darcy could keep up?

 

[legendstatus]

What good times mean is that they are good fit athletes just like my brother who does 2k in the low 5 mins. But I was a much much better footballer.

So Quaynor, hey?

Built like a truck and comes with an inbuilt tank.

Perhaps, then, though Grundy finished clearly last. Darcy used to be athletic; maybe lacking fitness.

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Tomorrow is another day. Another training post..
Still can't watch any footage of that game...

 

[Sea fog]

Great name - Daics torpedo, brings back wonderful memories.

Your brother must have been (is) some athlete.
Considering 4.44 mins is the 2,000 meter world record; your brother might even be peppering national standard or at the very least high end club runner.

Going to step straight into the seniors by the early indications. Could add some excitement to our backline in 2019.
