Pre-Season Running

Maybe this could benefit you, I hve an online version of the program too:

As you may or may not be aware, I am running an Off Season Training Program for football.

Now that our season is over (as of last Saturday), I can now plan out when I'll be ready to go.

What I have done is developed a 5 month training program that is progressive and periodised in a such as a way as to have your ready to blow by your opposition come season 2012.

To ensure the quality of the program, it is actually the program that I set up for myself and twigged a little to fit a group setting.

The aim of the program is to be stronger, faster, bigger and better next year which won't be achieved by body building programs or laps of the tan.

If you do the same thing then you can't expect a different result.

Here is a quick rundown of the details I have so far:

Fri October 7th - Initial Combine Day

This is where we will test our indicator exercises that have carefully chosen as exercises that if improved, will actually improve your on field performance. So bench press maximums are out and 20m sprints are in.

Late Dec - Middle Off Season Combine Day

This will give us an update on how the last 3 months of training have served us. We will also break for Christmas but we can organise that when we get there.

Late Feb / Early March - End of Off Season Combine Day

After all the hard work is done, this is where we will see the great results you'll achieve.

All the sessions will take place in my personal training studio at Level 1 / 308 Toorak Road, South Yarra on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings from 6pm - 8pm.

Each session will cost $15 so at 3 sessions a week it's $45/week.

I will capping the number of people who can attend at 12 - 15 and I already have some who are committed so if you're keen to make a splash next season, let me know as soon as possible.

Hey guys, just like the OP, just finished my footy season, and although i had a solid year playing on the wing, i want to increase my fitness base another 50%, i feel i'm no where near as fit as i should be and going into seniors next year i'll need step up my game. Any training routines like sprints and long runs would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has a good programe on how to increase your core strength and adding more muscle to your body, would be much appreciated also, cheers!

Start with what part of your fitness base needs the most work.

The different systems that you use at different parts of the game (e.g repeat efforts of hard chasing the ball (anaerobic), or just longer distance running (aerobic) ) are covered in the chart I previously posted. Follow that chart and design yourself a 30-45 min x 2/3 times a week running program to tax those individual systems.

1. Add in a day of hill sprints in there somewhere
2. Strength/power work in the gym 2+ a week
3. ????
4. Dominate

For me right now its mostly about the power work in the gym with little running until christmas(ish) but thats what I will be doing when its time to introduce a bit more running in. I'll start with something along the lines of 10 minutes of 60s work(run) / 60s rest(jog), then 2 x 10 minutes work(run) / 5 minute rest(jog). Then progress by ramping up intensity and eventually the interval times.

Thats my free forum advice, but you can follow the previous borderline spammy post by cptkirk and look into his program, I'm sure its good.
