Jonny's
90-Day
Rugby Performance Plan
Built to keep you in the 1s — and perform at that level
Let's Be Clear
You've already done the hard part.
You've made the step up from 2s to 1s.
Now it's about staying there… and performing at that level consistently.
Status Assessment
Where You're At Right Now
First full season playing 1s
Big jump in intensity (fitness + physicality)
Fitness drops off over the 80 minutes
Not doing specific conditioning for rugby
Injuries + inconsistency holding you back
The Real Problem
It's not ability.
It's that your current training isn't preparing you for:
The pace of 1s rugby
The physical demands
The full 80 minutes
Right now, you're reacting to the level… instead of being prepared for it.
The Opportunity
Most players finish a season and think:
"I need to get fitter"
Then do nothing different.
You've got the chance right now to:
Fix your weak points
Build your engine
Come into pre-season ahead of everyone else
Target Outcomes
The Goal —
Next 90 Days
Improve fitness to last the full 80 minutes
Become more explosive in contact
Increase strength and power for your position
Build consistency and stay injury-free
Be fully prepared for pre-season
The Plan
We focus on 4 key areas
Lifestyle Reboot
Routine that works around your job, rugby, and recovery
Strategic Strength
Build power for tackles, scrums, and contact
Performance Fuelling
Support recovery and energy levels
The Inner Edge
Confidence, discipline, and consistency
Weekly Structure
What Your Week Looks Like
Strength sessions built around rugby training
Specific conditioning (not random cardio)
Recovery structured properly
Clear progression week to week
No guesswork.
No wasted sessions.
The Missing Piece
You train...
You play...
But you don't condition properly.
That's why:
Fitness drops
Performance drops
You feel the difference at 1s level
This is what we fix.
What Happens If Nothing Changes
Same fitness drop-off next season
Same struggle with intensity
Same inconsistency
You stay where you are…
instead of pushing forward
What Happens If You Commit
You last the full 80 minutes
You feel sharper and more explosive
You handle the physicality of 1s rugby
You go into pre-season ahead of others
You actually feel like you belong at that level
The Bottom Line
You've made the step up.
Now it's about matching that level physically.
That doesn't happen by chance.
It comes from structure.
Next Step
If you're ready, we get this started properly.
We build momentum now
So you hit pre-season in your best shape.
