MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE FAST FITNESS RUNNING PROGRAM

Although some leagues have already called off season 2020, there's still a lot of us down here in Melboure waiting for the official word from our specific leagues whether we're on or off.

It's out of our control at this point but if and when we do get back to it then there's going to be players who need to gain fitness and they'll need to gain it fast!

Technically it's close to impossible to gain "fitness fast" but what they will need to is to get back to the high end of their natural running capabilities in as little time as possible.

We may only have 3 - 4 weeks or 6 - 8 training sessions to train before round 1 of which most training SHOULD be heavily focused on ball and tactical, work in my opinion.

That being said you could easily use this program at training or have your players do it in their time away from the club, as it only needs to be done probably 2/week, and maybe only 1/week once game starts.

The program could could carry you through until the finals the way it's set up.

Now what does minimum effective dose refer to exactly?

Glad I asked.

MED refers to the least amount of work you can do to gain the most benefit - that's it.

The "work" part of that refers to time availability and also the energy/recovery resources that you have at your disposal and is crucial to this working correctly on top of your team training.

The physcial co-active is the one we focus on the most but it's a distant 4th out of 4 in my book behind tactical, technical and psychological, especially when it comes to team training sessions.
Fitness work can easily be done on your own for the same effect, freeing up more time for tactical work when youre teammates are around.

Wanna know a secret?

The better your team tactics and how your team can play within them, the less fitness you need anyway.

The last positive points of this program is that it is easy to follow and gradually builds up your running speed, with the early relatively slower phases preparing you for the later faster phases meaning you should be able to stay injury free throughout the journey.

Here it is...
