How can I improve my endurance while skiing?

Best way to improve my endurance for an Australian Rules football player?

  • I'm 15, and I'm looking to improve my endurance a lot so I have better 3km, 2km and beep test results. What running do I do? How often do I run? How far? At what intensity? I'm training 2-3 times a week plus a game on the weekend, but I feel this isn't enough for my endurance. Please help!!

  • Answer:

    hey i think endurance work u do in the off season but I've had a knee injury and I'm building my fitness back as well best way to do this is to eat well keep the junk food on the side but in terms of exercising try to do running that u are going to utilize in a game so a lot of spurt running so at the park do 1 minute jogging then 30 seconds 80% speed and keep doing this also do sit ups core strength is very important and squats 4 thigh strength

Get a job catching chickens! It's the perfect job for a footballer. You run off the truck, grab a handful (8 to 12) chickens and run back to the truck, holding the chickens out from your body so they don't peck your legs! You do about 500 boxes of chickens in a night between two guys to load the truck. Average run would be about 40 metres each direction so you run about 20 ks in a night ... with weights (about 15kg) for half of it! I did that when I was about 19 to 20 and had the best year of footy as a result - I was so fit back in those days!! OK - you may not be able to do exactly that because of your age but something similar is perfect. Footy is about short bursts, stop and do it again. You need to be able to do a 100 metres run, after bursting through a pack stooping to get a ball and kicking, to be there for the hand pass to run into goal. Running steady easy 10 km runs is useless for that Try putting a sack of something that weighs about 10 kgs on the ground thirty metres from the start point on a 100 metre track. Sprint to get it, dive down to get it, get up and carry it 40 metres to the 70 metre mark and put it down. Jog the remaining 30 metres slowly to recover. Turn around as quick as you can and do it again. 20 second or so recovery is good to start but try to get it to where you can do about 10 hard running repeats of that. Rest between every ten repeats and do the same 10 times over.
