Ash Fletcher fitness coach

 We're coming to the end of our training week in Obertraun and we are about to set off fairly soon for our first friendly of the season. The facilities available here is top class and it's not suprising why so many good football teams train here during pre-season. My main role during this week has been analysing players heart rates to determine their work intensity and what work intensities they can maintain during longer runs and practice games. The lads have been fantastic and have all put an incredible amount of effort into the training during a very tough first week back, the fact we are training at altitude makes it even harder as well. As a team with new players and staff such as myself, this week away has been perfect for everyone to get to know each other so when we get back over to England we will hit the ground running.
