🙌🏼 Cricket Pre-Season 2026
Top 10 2km TT
Part of pre-season training is improving many different capacities for our cricketers.
A key part of their preparation, is building aerobic capacity.
Goal - males below 7mins
- females below 7.5 mins
This is only a small part of their training, which includes:
🏏 Cricket skills as the number one priority
🏃♂️ Running, which is a part of those cricket skills, and especially the ability to repeat that running over and over again
💪 Strength and power, and stability is a key component
🔥 The ability to back up effort after effort, recover between balls, between bowling spells and handle an elevated heart rate for long periods of time, all of which happen in the game of cricket, ie aerobic capacity.
This is a fine balance and as you can see here some of our top cricketers including those above 90kg are still getting under seven minutes. It’s not that hard to get them there if they’re consistent with their pre-season training. Then, it becomes much easier to keep them there within the season if they’ve got that great foundation before they start.
Looks like New Zealand (a Jock) is on the top of the leaderboard! 🔥
Well done squad, this is a mixture of our in person athletes and our online/remote athletes. International cricketers, fringe pro cricketers and even some juniors.
Either way, great effort lads. And let’s keep the great work going.
DM us if you want to be involved.
Who do you think has been our fastest ever?
