Running Training
Training
Kenneth Tham Asked 3 years ago
Dear PingSkills,
When training table tennis, do we need to do some running for stamina as a complementary training? For the case when we can only play table tennis twice a week, what kind of running would be suitable? How about for competitive players, do they usually do running as training also?
Regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
Endurance is important for Table Tennis players in situations when you are playing tournaments over a long day or over a few days.
It will also help you to recover quickly in matches.
All of this means that your body isn't working as hard so you have more ability to concentrate and think your way through.

Long Returns
By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.
