The Wednesday manager is putting the players through their paces with help from former Celtic fitness guru Adam Owen.
Owen apparently has been given free range for ten days to get the players in shape after their summer holidays with weight training every two days.
Lee Bullen has come back in fine form and has been doing well in training but so far Richard Wood is still feeling the after-effects of an operation and Kenny Lunt is still way behind the pace.
Sturrock has admitted that Steve Adams may not be ready for the season opener at Preston and he will not be risked until he is match fit.
