ESTI,
was the progression in the off-season? 8 km a week of tempo seems like a lot of running for such young girls. Charlie proposed 12 km of tempo a week during the offseason, then less tempo during the season to make room for other work (And because a lot of tactical work is basically tempo work). I was wondering lately if 12 km a week are too many. Charlie probably proposed that considering the (maximum) distance travelled by players at low speed during a match.
What is the rationale behind moving from 100s to 200s and 300s? I ran a lot of 300s during my career, albeit at more than 75% of best time over the distance, but I never found them particularly useful.
As for speed work, still having 2x week, mixing resisted and unresisted over 30 m?
I recently read a paper in which it was shown that low laser therapy reduces recovery time after resistance training, but nothing about gains in aerobic fitness. I’m also curious about the fairly new recovery method.
