How long should I rest between sprints?


If your working on speed. I use a 5:1 rest to exercise ratio. For exmple if i sprint 1 second I rest for 5. Sprint for 4 seconds rest for 20.

If your trying to work on endurance do like a 2:1 ratio.... ex. sprint for 10 seconds rest for 20 seconds

But how can you run sprints with a clock on your hand? It isn't better to rest until you are fresh again?

Mister, either way is appropriate. The 5:1 or any type of ratio like that is just to help the people who feed on "exacts". It's kind of like those people that want a cookie cutter training routine and not modifing it to their needs.

The amount you should really rest varies on whether it's for conditioning or improving speed. The ratios that MUFC shows that for acceleration you will want to rest longer after each one. In this case you want to feel fresh. There isn't much reason to continue a session for acceleration once you're a decent amount below peek "explosiveness" in each sprint.

Also like MUFC pointed out for conditioning the rest time will be less. The 2:1 would be a decent mark for those just starting conditioning but for those who are in pretty good shape it may be too long of a break. I'd reccomend, depending on the distance, allowing yourself to kind of catch your breath then go for the next one.

I quit training like a month ago. I failed the tryouts. Since then I'm in some kind of depression. Before the tryouts I waked up at 6 every day to train, now I can't even wake up at 10.
Some friend of mine said I should put this rule in my training: Simplicity is brilliance! He said I should only do keepy-ups(or how do you call them?) and running. He said all that complicated trainings I do is not good, cause you should only DO WHAT YOU LOVE. And frankly after a while every training workout becomes so boring.
I had so much desire in me before. Now I just like to be a lazy prick. This will destroy me probably. I'm not here to complain.
I would appreciate if you'd post your opinion on my friend's "simplicity is brilliance" training.

Generally people over complicate training. Although reducing your training to juggling and running won't make you a stellar player. Now, I cannot remember your goals in soccer but you will be missing many essential things to be a great player.

You still must work on your technique for shooting, control, and dribbling. This is not to say you need complicated drills, far from it. Drills that work on the basics can be more than enough to play at a decent level.

Once you start doing complicated drills you make too big of a gap between your level and the level you should be training at. The constant failure is more of an annoyance than anything else. You must do things that challenge you but not something you fail almost every single time. Progress to that, don't start at that.

Simplify your training, yes. There is no harm at all if you're working on the basics constantly. They ARE the building blocks of becoming a great player and many of the top players still work on their basics.

Not sure if that answers your question exactly. Kind of got in the zone to (hopefully) make others realize that there isn't a true need for complicated drills in training.

I've always tried to train a max of 3 areas a day. The worst thing you can do is do the same drills every single day..thats what led to you stopping your previous routine.
Juggling shouldnt be in a completly single section in your "routine". You can juggle while you're messing around the house. However, you can also incorporate it into volleys:

-Juggle, side volley against wall, settle, and repeat.

A lot of people practice what they are good at (I'm guilty of this too). Look at your training routine, you're practicing skills you have "mastered". Instead, create a routine that challenges your strengths, but also works on your weakness.

-For example: Do wall drills by settling the ball with your strong foot, but at the same time setting the ball up across your body for a shot/cross with your weak foot. You can also do the reverse of this drill.

Remember, you could combine some of your drills with the wall, including dribbling and shooting techniques. For instance, you could dribbling through the cones, do a move, then "finish" by getting a shot off on the wall. You would then settle the ball with a quick turning move and dribble the reverse direction between the cones.

*Here are some wall drills, if you havn't seen them already. There are some videos of Expert doing them in the link under the picture.

Those are places where you dribble with the ball for a short distance. Watch the videos, they help explain the drills better than words do.

Football is a very simple game that a lot of people over complicate. You recieve the ball, you pass the ball, then move looking for the ball again, pass and move pass and move, score more goals than the opposition and concede less. I looked very briefly at your training routine and it was crazy! Way to complicated....there is no secret code or training guide on how to be a great player, its just good solid consistent practice on a regular basis. Best of luck.
