I wouldn't be running two miles several times/week if you're playing football. Stick to sprints and plyometrics. Interval training is good too. Try 20 minutes of intervals instead of the 2 miles. A 1 minute ladder and then a one minute slow jog, 10 times each would be 20 minutes of good work. Also pyramids if you have access to a track... 10 40s, 6 100s, 4 200s, 2 400s and back down would be awesome. You can do a 2 mile run once in a while, but it's sort of a waste of time for a sport like football. Not a waste of time... But I would say there are way better ways to focus your time and energy.

If you do the intervals, start off 3 times per week. Work your way up to 10 sprinting sets (pyramids, etc) and 10 one minute (or 45 second - depending how quickly you recover) jogs. NOTE: The slow jog is your "rest" between sprints, this should be a constant thing. In 20 minutes you should complete 10 60 second sprints, and 10 60 second slow jogs, at intervals with no rest.

Good luck.

Ahhh cool thanks for the tips Mike. I have been running still over the past few months. It has been helping alot but not as much as i thought.

The 5-aside i play on Thursdays is fast, stop, start, always on the move. There is a wall around the pitch too so the ball dont go out. So it is quite none stop.

The running i have been doing is not helping for the short bursts and quick running i have been doing at football. So your program may come into play.

Im going to try out your idea and see how it works.

I will let you know the results as soon as.

Thanks for your time.

lol thanks for that :| And he jogged halfway where ? lol

Anyways ive been trying out your program Mike and it seems to be having a rapid effect. Ive been doing this for just over 7 days on and off and its helping me already. Or maybe thats just in my head lol. But when i played football the other day i didnt feel as tired or my body didnt feel stiff and my muscle was not tight. Im going to stick with this and see what happens.

Thanks for the help i may have found something that works here.

I will report back soon as.

Not so very long time ago I read about the negativ influence of running. It demages more the body than it helps. The knees the most. But it's important to say, it depends a lot on the facet u're running on. I find it very pesimistic and excessive vision.
I never used to run without better reason to run than just to keep fit, so I think when u play periodically football, u aren't so pleasured while running just for running than while running by game. My advice: train more football if u think u need more move, among other things it improves your football skills.

Running, Jogging, Training

I am only 14 years old And I'm studying to become a PT. I will be doing my PT course in like a few months. The way I see to become fitt is jogging 2km every day, drink plenty of water as 70% of the body is made of water. I run just over 200km every month, but only do that if you want to become "super fitt" So 2km is fine BUT what I've been tought is that you have to be walking for 40mins before your body turns to "fat burning mode" so I sugeast you walk for 40mins then you go for a 2km jogg, because if you jogg before that 30-40 mins is up you will NOT lose any body fat as your body will NOT be on fat burning mode. If you are jogging a day I sugeast you drink 3 liters of water a day... Somone like me should be drinking 6-9... But remember, do NOT drink over 1 liter of water in one go as that will not just flush out the bad stuff... If you over drink in one go it will flush out things you need.

If anyone has questions on fitness, or even health, I'm here to help. Even know I am young that does NOT mean I don't know how to help... Questions about: Abs,biceps,triceps,quads,calfs, pecks or even your ham strings... I know alot about them so feel free to contact me at cadetchris94@hotmail.Com

Cheers

with your fitness, you have to learn to read your own body language.... let your body tell you when you have had enough. If you think your exausted, thats just you hard breathing getting to your head! dont let pain or soreness stop you from working even harder- when its time to stop, you should be both mentally AND physically sure. I know all of that sounds confusing, but its sort of an aquired feeling... it comes with expirience and the lessions learned from screwing up... when you learn your body, and its limits, then you can begin to push beyond those limits and you begin to discover that those limits weren't your limits at all, only that your true limit is much higher than you probabily imagined!

hi,
Morning running or jagging is very good for health.People begin running for a lot of reasons. Many want to lose weight. Some are training for an athletic program. Others have joined the military service of their country and have to pass physical training tests.Walkers and runners usually don't talk about speed. Speed is the distance we travel in a specified time, and that concept has little meaning to runners. Instead of speed, we talk about pace, the time it takes to do a mile or a kilometer.
