Return to Match Fitness

6-week Programme 

Who is this for?

This is a 6-12-week holistic performance programme for athletes lacking game time and looking to develop cardiovascular fitness and high-intensity running ability who are accustomed to playing one game per week. Incorporates periodised endurance, strength and speed sessions. If you need to develop your fitness to perform at high-intensities for 90 minutes and beyond, then this programme is for you.

How many days per week in this programme?

The programme consists of 4 training days per week, each lasting approximately 60-75 minutes.

What sessions are included in this programme?

• 2 x High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
• 1 x Upper body strength
• 1 x Whole body strength

How do I plan sessions into my week?

Sessions are periodised as follows:

• The Matchday (MD) reference relates to days pre/post game.  
• MD +1 = 1 day after the game
• MD -3 = 3 days before your next game
• This periodisation will allow you to optimise adaptation and subsequent performance gains by peaking and tapering your training load around the match day schedule.

Do I need any specific equipment?

You will need access to a field, pitch or athletics track and a gym consisting of free weights.
