                                                        Cardiovascular Training

                                                        Elite touch players should train smart.  Gone are the days when we thought getting fit for touch involved long distance runs for weeks on end.  Thanks to the help of GPS research conducted by Touch Australia a few years back, CV training has become a lot more specific.  So, instead of running ten 400s (or heaven forbid longer distances) we should be running four hundred 10s! (Well, not quite, but you get the idea).  Read the articles below and see the results of the research for yourself.  Throughout the articles you will find some valuable guidance on how to train the energy systems specific to touch.  I will leave you with one word - SPECIFICITY!
