Thanks for your replies,And of course "fitness" is not just about how far you can run. There is also strength, power, speed, agility and mobility. Circuit training covers a host of these but distance running does not.
If you've got a mate or someone to train with have a go at this. Do this for 20 minutes and you'll get far more from than running constantly for 45 minutes.

To increase power, you need to first increase speed and strength.
Let me know how you get on, my son found it a killer, I love it!Thanks for your replies i'lltry what you recommended Dave.![]()
Have you watched English football, they spend most of the time on the floor holding writhing in apparent pain, the rest of the time they walk around and then on the odd occasion they might sprint - it's pretty depressing stuff and yet somehow that justifies them being paid millions.At 14 I would've though just something like playing footy through the winter would be enough to get you in shape for cricket in the summer.
The staging and diving is one of the main things that has stopped me ever following soccer/football properly, it's borderline comical at times. Sadly it's even started to slightly creep into Aussie Footy a bit over the years with blokes getting creative in 'milking' free kicks..Have you watched English football, they spend most of the time on the floor holding writhing in apparent pain, the rest of the time they walk around and then on the odd occasion they might sprint - it's pretty depressing stuff and yet somehow that justifies them being paid millions.
The kids that live near me refuse to use football pitches, because they have to run after the ball!

I've got to start doing something soon, I've been stretching - which I do all the time, but strength, stamina, power and all that stuff I'm probably at a yearly low. I've bought a bike this year, not had one for years, I love cycling, so once the weather improves I'll give that a go to start my cardio stuff off. But running round fields, not for me at the moment. Did you do the thing where you sprint sections and then jog sections or was it just constant pace running?Fid the yoyo test and got 6:5 and i ran 10 laps of a football field in 9:53 suite unfit i think i can do better
I tried that last time, but now i did the yoyo test if you dont know about it and have never done it ..... DO IT its very good and you can set yourself a target because it has levels, australien police and defence forces use it, and cricketers use itI've got to start doing something soon, I've been stretching - which I do all the time, but strength, stamina, power and all that stuff I'm probably at a yearly low.

What is it? Can I find it on the interwebs?I tried that last time, but now i did the yoyo test if you dont know about it and have never done it ..... DO IT its very good and you can set yourself a target because it has levels, australien police and defence forces use it, and cricketers use it
Its a 'test'. You have to mesure 20meters (22 y) and place cones or anything at the end. You have to download an mp3 track. You have to start running between the two cones when you hear a beep sound and it speeds up with time,.... If its not clear: type on Google: topendsport Beep Test .What is it? Can I find it on the interwebs?
