AEROBIC THRESHOLD TRAINING - RUN WITH A PURPOSE

You're on the Xmas break and to keep the legs ticking over, you head out for a little 10km run.

You get back to training and your coach lines you up for 400's.

During the season you do some high intensity/short rest running work to maintain fitness during the year.

But what are you actually doing during each of these sessions?

How is it increasing your fitness?

Is it actually increasing your fitness?

How do you if it is?

You're running without a purpose.

You're running without a why.

Without a purpose and without a why how do you know what you're doing what you're intending it to do?

And if in fact it isn't then have you totally wasted all your time and efforts?

I wouldn't go that far because some running is better then no running but with everything that you need to be prepared for a 360 degree high collision, high mileage team sport, then efficiency has to be at the front of your mind for pretty much everything you do.

Saying that specific running work should not really be a huge part of your regime until after max speed has been brought up to par and tactical team training scenario's have been performed which indicates a need for greater endurance to complete these scenario's up to the standard that you need to come game day.

For example if you're using the small sided full ground drill but a lot of players getting fatigued early in the drill affecting the technical/tactical level of the drill negatively, then SOME players might need a fitness intervention and a specific running program might be needed for them.

Introducing aerobic threshold training where you can expect a 100 - 200m improvement from test to test performing this 20 - 30min program 1/week that can easily be added into your training week.
