Pre-season fitness

As the Cobras third assault on the UCT Internal League is edging closer, one should surely be getting out on the road and doing some running as afterall it is fitness that is the key to internal league. However, everyone knows how boring and generally kak it is running around the Rondebosch common, which just reminds all of us about those 6am runs at Bishops in Std.6 and 7. Cobras have appointed a new fitness coach in the shape and small size of flying winger Dillon X. We mean fitness in terms of running and not pumping in Graeme's aunts room at his party, which he did get reeled for. Dillon has decided to challenge all Cobras to evening runs up Cecilia Forest, which from experience can tell you that its is awesome. Dillon and Starvin have been doing these runs since they were about 8 and therefore know the route back to front, last week saw and expedition of Dill, Starv, Olly, Army, Warren and Doug (Dillon's dog) conquering the mountain. Although Dillon, Starv and Doug were the only three to make it to the top, they did indeed leave a Cobras flag and a case of beer at the top for the guys who next conquer it.

The run can be done at your own pace with numerous stops, or as I like to call them 'lookout points' the views from the run are truly magnificent as you run through the forest and eventually get to points that look over the whole of Cape Town. So the challenge has been set for the Cobras in terms of pre-season fitness. This is how it works, most week days we meet in the Cecilia Forest parking lot which is on Rhodes Drive at around 17:15 have a little stretch and hit the run, it really is awesome and isn't too hectic to cope with. All are welcome and if you unsure if the run is on just send a little message to fitness instructors Dill X - 0724115282 or Starv - 0824699150 and they will let you know what time the run is happening. Rugby will be that much more fun when you are that much more fitter...let's bring it home.
