Soccer Speed Training

In the video below Alex Maroko outlines how he would structure a week of training for a soccer player.

Alex pointed out that soccer requires the ability to perform repeated sprints. Nonetheless he still emphasises the development of maximal speed and acceleration.



Also covered was the use of tempo workouts to help with repeated sprint ability. In actual fact, tempo running is probably something all speed based athletes should incorporate into their training programme. This is regardless of whether or not they require the ability to perform repeated sprints.

I have covered tempo training in more detail here. This is an important component of training for high level sprinters. This is because it can take around 48 hours for an advanced athlete to recover from a high intensity training session. Tempo training, when performed correctly, can enhance the recovery process.
