Wigan Warriors sharing training sessions

Posted by Matt Moran on Aug 17, 2011

One of the things I really love about the Wattbike community is the willingness to share training sessions here on the blog, on Facebook and Twitter, it really helps everybody that owns a Wattbike to get the most out of their training. We find a lot of people doing sportive or triathlons tweeting about their latest training session but it's a rare occasion that those involved in the pro sports scene are able to share their Wattbike activity - many still refer to the Wattbike as their 'secret weapon'.

So when Mark Bitcon, Head of Sport Science at Wigan Warriors rugby league club, let us get hold of his 'Cards of Death' (as seen on one our earlier visits) we pleaded with him to let us share them with the Wattbike community...and in an instance he said yes. It's these kind of sessions which are helping Wigan Warriors to have one of their best seasons ever, they currently sit at the top of the Engage Super League and are in the final of the Carnegie Challenge Cup

The cards provide a lot of motivation for the players as they are of varying intensity although no player escapes the toughest workout as the cards are rotated so that each player completes each one.

Thanks to Mark for sharing these sessions. Remember these are completed by professional rugby league players under the watchful eye of a pro coach; we recommend you take a look at our free Training Guide to work out the kinds of resistance and cadence you should be working at when undertaking sessions on a Wattbike.
