I play oz-tag recreational and end up getting puffed really quick. The weird thing is that I cycle heaps (20km per day) and do kickboxing but I'm buggered after 5 mins on the field. If I sub off I'm fine again in like, 30 seconds, but then I can only last another 5 mins before I'm tired again.
What kind of training can I do to feel fresher and more energetic for longer? I'd like to be able to play a whole game without rest.
And if you don't know what oz-tag is then think of a cross between rugby, flag-football (for you americans) and interval sprints. The games are 20 minute halves with a 1 min break in between. Lots of running up and back in a line (10-15 metres) in defence and lots of sprinting in attack.
