  1. No! Distance running will make you less quick! Do speed work and jumping exercises. If you run 2-3 miles make sure to stop, start, jog, run quick for 15 yards, etc. Make it like a game with stops and starts. Long and slow will make you slow.

  2. Sprint down the length of a pitch, recovery jog width, sprint down the other length, recovery walk the width, then repeat until you're vomitting or feeling like you want to ā¤

  3. Okay, so I coached college soccer for 40 years. And I have a masters degree in exercise physiology. Looks like I still need to write that book on conditioning for soccer after all because the comments on this page are pretty wild.

  4. I am a very competitive runner and soccer player and this is a lot of milage. Soccer players don't need to run every day and it could lead to injury. He is right about types of runs and not running the same thing every day just shorter distances and less days would work. As I'm sure pros do this at some level they are also more mature and understand there bodies better. But I think that he should be more careful beacuse kids are watching and it sends th wrong message that 10 11 year old have to run this kind of milage.
