Off Season Training

Re: Off Season Training

Sounds you're keeping active which is the key thing. Are you setting yourself goals in training over the off-season?
 
Re: Off Season Training

honestly I have no set goals.

- I am looking to get fitter/faster and healthier

but they are not really goals..

Anothe main questions guys and especially LIZ, how can you improve you pace??????
 
Re: Off Season Training

We have to work on some goals for you then ;) Have you ever completed a performance profile?

With your food diary, you do not appear to be including all your beverages [hopefully] and there are no chocolate bars, crisps, biscuits etc. Perhaps you don't eat them! I need you to list all your veggies too.

As for pace, where do you see your deficit? Where/how do you think you need to increase pace?
 
Re: Off Season Training

Ok, beverages ;) well I dont drink coke or soft drinks unless maybe on holiday.

I do however drink a lot of juice (not squash) apple and orange mainly.
I dont drink enough water. I drink some but maybe 3-5 glasses equivelent a day.

My pace is just pathetic, I am one of the top long distance runners in my year but when it comes to pace I get burnt out by the fatties of the side.
:laugh:

I need to improve my pace in all ways

- accelaration
- turn off pace
- general pace

everything literally

also agility ::)

I have never completed a performance profie :confused:

No idea what to do????

Saturday Food

B-Fast - 2xPenut Butter Toast - Mango, Pineapple, banana bowl of fruit
- Bowl of coco pops with banana cut up.

then a glass of apple juice

Lunch - nothing proper two bananas - penut butter - toast a glass of orange juice

Supper - Ordered dominos pizza :embarrassed: had a MASSIVE bottle of water (drank about 5cm of it :cursing:)

After that - Had a white magnum
 
Re: Off Season Training

OK freddiw, that's fine. I really do not want to comment on your food diary until you have completed it, so please do not think I am ignoring it.

As for pace, you need to start utilising your anaerobic energy systems [take a look at my post February 08, 2008, 07:43:31 PM from http://www.simplycricket.net/energy-systems-required-for-a-batsman-to-score-100-runs-t1924.15.html for more information].

This should help as a starting point:

As for performance profiling, when you embark on goal setting, you really do need to get your head around what YOU want to ensure your goals are SMARTER. When I get a chance, I shall send you a brainstorming template for you to work on, it will help you get it right.

David's links are fantastic and I would really recommend his bodyweight training plan for you.

Take a look at the bottom of the HR Monitor article, there are some exercises you can do.

Re: Off Season Training

Hi Freddie,

I wanted to see if it cropped up in you list of qualities :D

Crikey! That's a big hint isn't it :laugh:

Be honest... did it?
 
Re: Off Season Training

I'm going to sound glib here, so sorry (I don't have enough time for a full analysis right now).

1. Eat more veg, especially the green leafy type. You can never eat enough.
2. Eat more whole food (eggs, meat, fish, whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans)
3. Eat less proccessed sugary food

Just doing those three things will make a massive difference. Then we can start to talk about macronutrient ratios ;)
 
Re: Off Season Training
