Going for runs( yes running in a straight line for a period of time) is much more important that you think for football. So many people online will say ‘it won’t help you with football’ ‘be a natural footballer’ ‘only do sprints’ . Now, not all of these claims are wrong. But going for runs builds your aerobic base for football games. This base is your running base which is very much necessary for football. It also builds your endurance, so you can last longer during games. What I don’t agree with is people only doing 5ks, or only doing sprints. You need to do a mix. I do fitness work 2x a week, so one day I go run in between 1 and 3 miles, and the other I do an interval run(sprint 30s jog/walk 30s, repeat 10x.) I hope this helps all of you, and tell me your thoughts on this below!🔥🙌👊

I feel that this is a big issue for many players, especially for me. Speed is a quality important for all positions in soccer, and immensely helps the player who holds it. For those who don't, it puts them at an enormous disadvantage. As a player who doesn't have a high sprinting speed (both acceleration and top speed), I definitely feel that disadvantage, and have felt it for a large amount of my soccer career, and is arguably the #1 detriment to my game. Over close to a year, I have tried many methods to get faster at sprinting (none of which work). Plyometrics and weightlifting were my main ones. For plyometrics I currently use broad jumps, pogo hops, a-skips, lunge jumps. For weightlifting, I generally do squats, bench press, pull ups, and dead-lifts. I haven't done much of sprinting itself. Do I just lack consistency in my program, or is it simply a bad program? Could it be bad form during exercises? I have seen the many sprinting threads in this community, but I want to know if others have experience using these and have found actual results by using these. I have also read and watched A LOT of resources on sprinting and improving speed, and often get differing answers of what to do to improve speed. If there is a tried and proven method that others have done (with specific exercises and amount) as well as what results they found, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
