There is not a lot of time between mid Jan and Round 1 (approx. 11 weeks). Its also important for new recruits to be introduced to the other players as soon as possible. Nothing wrong with mates getting together and having a bit of a run. Don't see how having a few runs and then a 3-4 weeks xmas break is gonna lead to burn out!

11 weeks is ample time.

1. I'm starting well behind the rest of the pack.
2. 11 weeks is ample if the program is prepared correctly.. if you cant build up a strong fitness base in that time then you must be doing something wrong or not working hard enough.
3. I'm self motivated, these other clowns are not

If they did it was a waste of time.
Personally I'd start running 3 times a week x 5k the day after the Melbourne Cup.

Wait, so you did your own pre-xmas training?

Yet, organised group training was a waste time? Doesn't make sense.

Bloody oath I did.
Clubs feel obliged these days to get the group together before Xmas because they are scared shiteless of losing players.
My point is how piss poor players are these days because 90% of them wouldn't know how to do the right thing by their club and team mates in preparing themselves for a footy season.
I'm not saying don't do pre Xmas stuff.
Go for it.
Just don't think it's required if the playing group has the right attitude towards wanting success.

It amazes me that so many coaches, people involved in football all think they can 'corrctly prepare a preseason program' with no qualifications or expertise in the area. Someone earlier mentioned running lots of 5kmers, a lot of clubs do stuff like that and it just doesnt make sense.

That would have been me Jetters.
I did it off my own bat well before group pre season started, me being a midfielder and back in the day we rarely changed so it would make perfect sense to have Ks under the legs wouldn't it ?
Don't just pick and choose what you reply too without due consideration whether or not your comment is relevant or just plain dumb.
