Gavin Cowan will not get AFC Telford squad to run up hills
Boss Gavin Cowan says his AFC Telford United players will put in plenty of hard yards during pre-season – but the days of hill running are long gone.
The Bucks began their preparations for the National League North campaign on Tuesday and were back training this morning.
In years gone by, the squad has ran up The Wrekin. This time around, Cowan is taking a ‘football specific’ approach.
“I’ve addressed the players and they’re bound to have butterflies in their tummy, but you have to feel the fear and do it anyway,” he said.
“Pre-season is tough, but you have to make it relevant and enjoyable – football specific – and then you’re on to a winner.
“You’ve got to work hard, get that fitness, but the days of running up hills are long gone.
