How long should I run for soccer training ect,?
Posted by The Soccer Blogger as Soccer Training & Skills
I am starting soccer in january with a friend and I was wondering how long I should run in the morning. I wake at 7 am and go to school at 8:20. I get ready in about a half an hour so how long should I run? I live in a neighbor hood that i can run around.
Is there a time i should go?
and is there a amount of time i should be running??
just what would work with my schedule??
I play soccer competitivly so i may be able to help. Start running short distances at first, then when your body adjusts to running, start gradually running longer distances. Start running for ten minutes and then if you want you can run longer distances. when you have more time in the afternoon or weekends, it would be helpful to pay visits to a track so you know just how far you are running. It is better to push yourself so you will do better. Run after you wake up but don’t forget to stretch. Then you can get ready for school with out rushing.

Start building up your conditioning by starting low (depending on your current fitness, maybe your low is 30 minutes), maybe 15 or 20 minutes, and then progress it each week. Also try doing 10 second sprints and 30 second jogs while running, as in soccer you’re not always running at the same pace, there’s a lot of change in the game speed at times. (Running 60 minutes straight is way different from putting sprints inbetween your runs, you’ll notice the difference if you work on this)

For cardiovascular training your heart rate needs to be above 80 bps for at least twenty minutes to half an hour at first. As fitness increases this time needs to double for further improvement. With only a month and a half until January you will ned to do this 5 times a week. It doesn’t have to be all just jogging either. You can do shorter runs at 3 quarter pace really pushing yourself, then have a 3 minute break and go again. Our coach makes us run from the gaol line to the 6 yard and back, then goal line to the 18 yard and back then goal line to half way and back at 3 quarter pace. Then 2 minutes off and start again. This is great for soccer as you are working your agility as well.

I think you should wake up earlier, the earlier the cooler and the more time you have. I think you should run for 45 mins to an hour but if you think that is to much 30 mins. is ok. You should probably take a shower if your all sweating also.
