    What level are you playing/will you be playing next season? What are your aims for next season? They can each play a role in deciding what you should be doing?

    I wouldn't focus on long runs unless you're training for a running event.
    Fitness can be brought up quite quickly in January.

    I'd suggest a decent weight training programme of 3-4 sessions a week and maybe a ball handling session and a sprint session once a week.

    I would say sprints for speed. But no real point in doing it this time of year, not just yet anyway. What you're doing seems to be fine, I'm in the same boat but I have a marathon in 2017 that I need to train for so I'll have a bit of a juggling act
