Oct 11, 2019 at 4:00 comment added WetlabStudent Most runs in soccer are 80m or less, but you have to do them at top speed, and often. I'd suggest you do 80m, at 90% of max speed, followed by 120m at roughly 6:30 min/km jog. And repeat with no stopping. If you have a track this is easy, sprint the middle 80% of the straights and jog the turns. Do many laps without stopping for at least 30 min. Do this once per week (not within 48 hours of your game that week). At first, this workout might be too hard (in which case walk the curves, then start jogging as you get more fit)
Oct 10, 2019 at 17:13 comment added mbrig @Criggie I think you need a higher ratio than 30s sprint per 20min jog. Common recommendations I've seen for HIIT running training are 30s-4min sprint, followed by 2-6min rest, depending.
Oct 10, 2019 at 15:47 comment added TylerH @JohnP Note I was responding only to Criggie -- I did see (and of course agree with) what you've written in the answer about interval training.
Oct 10, 2019 at 15:45 comment added JohnP @TylerH - I've outlined the difference between interval and threshold training in other posts on here, I just didn't go into the detail here. But you are correct, it's interval training no matter the sport. :)
Oct 10, 2019 at 13:36 comment added TylerH @Criggie It's called interval training in running, too.
Oct 10, 2019 at 13:32 comment added Faiz Hameed I shall definitely try this. Will be back after a month with what i find.

Oct 9, 2019 at 23:32 comment added Richie Frame @SeanDuggan that is not only the addition of kicking, but the brain use requiring a noticeable amount of energy for focus and concentration beyond normal running, which the body will try to compensate for during training
Oct 9, 2019 at 21:34 comment added Criggie In cycling this is called "interval training" where you smash out a short segment and recover after. 30 seconds of full-gas sprint and 20 minutes of comfortable jogging should show some improvements.
Oct 9, 2019 at 20:31 comment added JohnP @SeanDuggan - Good point. I had made the assumption he was having actual practice, which should include cone drills, ladder runs, etc., but if he is just playing pickup, then that is a definite good addition, and would make a good complementary answer as well.
Oct 9, 2019 at 15:16 comment added Sean Duggan As an addendum, I'd also argue for doing "runs" while dribbling the ball back and forth. A lot of the endurance in soccer is because you're not just running, but also doing short kicks to keep the ball in front of you. Ideally, you'd set up some cones to also add the sharp changes in direction that you'll need to do.
