I was quite surprised how lacking in aerobic capacity she was last time she returned from a similar hiatus, so I don't expect much.
I suppose you can't escape match fitness, no matter what you've been doing.
The running patterns in the two games are very different. I’m hoping that Brooke and our fitness people will have addressed that.
On a related topic, I heard an interesting discussion with Kez on the wireless. It seems that some teams are obtaining a competitive advantage through extra training. The agreement specifies training times and anything beyond that is effectively unpaid overtime. The discussion covered individuals taking on extra training on their own initiative and mandated extra sessions.
Apart from anything else, it reinforced my impression of Kez as a very articulate, intelligent and perceptive young person.
