Tempo and sets of 4

I use this for both males and women field players. Keepers would use less, unless their team fitness test required something like this.

50 seconds might be a good starting point, but I’d try to move down towards 30-35 sec over time. A progression might be to do a big circuit with 50 sec rest moving towards 35 sec and then adding volume.

My soccer players will do 2 HI sessions./wk and 3-4 running sessions. As summer ends, they have to begin doing two sessions a day, usually HI in morning, tempo at night on those days, and 2 tempo sessions, with volume split in half.

I aim for about 4000m of tempo per session x 3 = 12,000m tempo/wk per CF’s recommendation.

I’ll be gone for 5 days so if you have more questions be patient!

Forgive my ignorance. What is HI training? High Intensity? HITT?
