Work Capacity Development: The Role of 600s, 800s & 1000s

what about in soccer, basketball, ect, sports with a higher aerobic component?

What would a long continuous rep do that intervals wouldn't do better? I thought the superiority of interval training over continuous runs was settled long ago.

i would just say that in order to progress with tempo and stay under the 75% threshold, you must decrease rests over time. Generally, the tempo type is set by the preceeding high intensity session, so, when feeling fully recovered, the tempo might be faster, when not so recovered the tempo will be slower, requiring shorter rests to be effective. That said, you can't always set the tempo type too far in advance because there is always the response to previous training.

Isn't that true for all 'secondary' training components?

keep the running around 125 meter max..
what you shud be striving for is a quick burst of speed to get the gap..so u can take
a clean shot.. remember soccer is about timing and setup..

50 metre full runs.. stop on a dime, moving the ball keeping it beside you.. fro another 50metre

try that 5 time....

I use decreasing recovery to progress from year to year (upto a point) rather than increasing volume. I prefer it because of reduced number of contacts

My approach too

[duxx]

My approach too

Yup, the volume should be 'capped' not progressed over time. More is NOT Better, better is better

[no23]

Yes it can be manipulated to suit.
Sometimes actually it might be good 'throw in a grenade' and increase the volume if it suited to open them up a little.
(Of course not killing anyone too helps)
