Are you still running long distance to increase your sports performance?

Another quick Rant

A major component of Sports Training that is often done wrong!

Conditioning....

Most conditioning programs emphasize on running at a moderate to slow pace for longer distances to get in shape.

Well is sport done by moving at moderate slow places for long periods of time? NO! Sports are usually played fast with short bursts of high energy output, and then in most cases you get some sort of break.

That’s how we have to train.

Next time you plan on doing a endurance or cardio workout - Try incorporating some kind of interval work done for shorter distances with some good rest periods in between sets.

In addition focusing on strength endurance is a must. What good would it be if you’re able to run up and down the court/field but when it comes time to hit somebody, jump up for a rebound, or take a powerful shot you lack the strength to make an impact. That’s why we need to pay attention and develop strength endurance as well. You need to be able to get up and down the field and then ‘finish with authority’!

And the only way to do that is with a good blend of conditioning.

Plus - as a bonus - when you do these types of workouts - you'll get leaner, and in better shape faster, as well as getting done with your workouts faster as well.

Good luck!
