Well currently Im at a Rugby Academy in Gloucester, and now the seasons finished, Im doing alot more interval runs, circuit training, fartlek training, timed runs etc.

Yeah, I bloody hate those doctors, I gave them an earful on Friday because basically last year applied because I was going to join straight after Year 11, but because the Doc or receptionist took almost 4 months to tell me that they had last the papers, I ended up going to college instead. So I'm phoning them everyday until it has been complete.

What are you currently doing at the moment; working; college?
