These speed endurance
drills will help
you to maintain a higher work rate for longer.
They are excellent for improving performance in soccer.
Speed endurance training is similar to pure speed and
agility training,
however, there are 2 important distinctions;
1.
Speed endurance drills should last
from 30 seconds up to 2 minutes
rather than 10 seconds for agility drills.
2.
Instead of allowing your body to fully recover rest times between sets and
repetitions is reduced.
What effects will this have?
Your body will produce high levels of
lactic acid in a short period
of time.
By continuing to work at a high intensity you will be
conditioning your body to tolerate lactic acid more effectively.
Be
warned,
some of these drills are unpleasant! In fact they are more demanding than
most situations you
are likely to face in competition.
Do not perform these drills after you've
just eaten!
