Is this overtraining or weakness on my part?

The point was not to make It more sport specific, but to reduce fatigue/overtraining ;), thank you for your comment

Damn, I can’t believe they have womens Aussie rules in the states.

Adonail, have you ever watched a game of AFL? The elite midfielders run close to 20km in a match.

I’m not trying to start an argument here, but the plan you are recommending looks like it is designed for a 100-200m sprinter. 2000m of extensive tempo done a few times a week won’t provide the fitness necessary for aussie rules.

Personally I think that including some distance work is extremely important for this sport. I also don’t see the need to be doing sprints 3x per week.
