Tempo Intervals for Football

What would be a good distance to start off with for tempo intervals and how many total yards per session should I do? (I"m a college football wide receiver)

considering i don’t know anything else about your training, 15x100m per session at 65-75%.

CCardill this is our setup: I wanted to do tempo on Saturday to get some of the lactic acid out of my legs.

Here is our setup for the next eleven weeks:

can you be more specific regarding the running portion?

The running days consist of warmup drills (high knees butt kicks, and bounding), speed intervals (20yds, 40yds and 60yds) and conditioning (110s). However our new coach is taking over these new days. We will be doing the same things but without the 110s which are replaced with stadium steps.

so 5 high intensity days…

on saturday, i would start out at 10 x 100m and then work your way up to between 15-18 reps. you can also do some low intensity med ball work and ab work in the same session.

also, make sure on the weekdays you are stretching (seperate session from weight training) for at least 20-30 min because that will assist with recovery as well.

Thanks for the help. How much rest should have between each run?

walk back the 100m that you just ran…about 30-45s.

LOL, you must be a pretty fast walker! I find it takes me 75s to get back to the start line (more towards the end of a hard workout).
