Dan Burn discusses double sessions and go-karting at Newcastle United pre-season training camp

Dan Burn has admitted pre-season training under Eddie Howe is “tough” due to gruelling double sessions. Newcastle United are currently in Austria ahead of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, with clashes against Bundesliga sides 1860 Munich and Mainz scheduled.

The Magpies will then travel to Portugal for a one-off game against Benfica before concluding their pre-season at St James’ Park against Atalanta and Athletic Bilbao. Preparations for the upcoming season have seen a 29-man squad undertake double sessions as Howe aims to restore fitness levels within the camp.

The 44-year-old is renowned for his relentless work rate and meticulous training methods. After Howe’s appointment, Jonjo Shelvey revealed he was “in bed by 8pm” every night due to the intensity of his training drills.
