Aaron Ramsey on returning to pre-season programme: “I stay the same as when I left. We get programmes to do over the summer, although for the first few weeks we are told to do nothing and just rest. A couple of weeks before pre-season we do our programmes and it’s something you just have to do - you don’t want to start on the back foot.” “Everyone’s given a time and they have to stick to that, but we do have one run where you go to your maximum that your body can handle,” he reveals. “I was fortunate that Carl Jenkinson and I were right at the front on that, and Gibbo wasn’t far behind. He’s not carrying any weight, which helps in the runs - he never puts any on actually, which amazes me when you see some of the stuff he eats! “It helps that I’ve always been good over a long distance, and ran 800m for the schools and stuff. I ran it in two minutes and four seconds when I was 14 years old and could have taken athletics further, but football commitments took over.”
