Metcons & football training

solid 5 · 2011-06-28 22:50:23

Have started to focus on metcons, needed a new challenge and want to up my fitness levels for football (soccer). I play at a reasonable level and want to really improve my general fitness this year. Anyone got tales to tell on their football or Gaa fitness improvements using metcons??? Is it beneficial for the 90 minute…

Is it beneficial for the 90 minute game?

I've noticed a much better performance level since Ive trained specificall for strength and Ive gotten stronger.

Not really what you asked but something to keep in mind.

Cheers for the response.

Any other Crossfit/Metcon regulars, GAA or soccer players out there with any input on this?

Thanks in advance.

OP - you should find these videos useful:

http://informedperformance.com/2010/06/gaa-power-and-agility/

http://informedperformance.com/2011/01/gaa-pre-season-training/

While Informed Performance is sadly no more, Will Heffernan is available for online training and consultation at a ridiculously cheap price.

He only tends to post on the Training Logs forum these days but you can reach him here (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=157694).

Hope that helps,

Paul
