Mark Perego set new standards for fitness during his playing days as one of the great cult heroes of Welsh rugby and he’s still doing so now in his late 50s.
The former Llanelli and Wales flanker is perhaps best remembered for his unique training regime, which saw him running through the woods Rambo-style with an axe.
That was famously captured on film by the BBC, adding further to his reputation as something of a one-off and someone absolutely dedicated to staying in peak condition, a commitment that helped him win nine caps between 1990 and 1994. Now, some 30 years on, he is still looking after himself and putting in the work on his fitness, as a recent picture reveals.
