Stretch off post-match, and have a bath when you get home?
Stay well clear of alcohol and caffeine. And get yourself some porridge for breakfast, ready to get you going in the following game. Stay hydrated at half time as well.
I would be coming off of one of them, that is ridiculous.Alas not at L4, line came through first, didn't even consider the possibility of getting a game on the Friday. Both being observed as well
Whilst every watch measures differently, I'd be expecting around 9.5Km for the middle and 5.5K for the line. Depending on fitness level, this is obviously doable ... however for many referees it's tough to give 100% to each (both mentally and physically) and there's a temptation to 'hold back' a bit in the first game in the knowledge that another is imminent. As levels increase, more and more weight is attached to the importance of recovery post game, exactly why, as Rusty says, at Level 3 and above a rest day is automatically inserted pre and post a match. (Though, as an aside, this doesn't actually work if you do both mens and womens matches!)Can I respectfully ask why someone is not able to do a Step 5 middle the night before a Step 3 line? (I do youth football and 3 games back to back in Ireland).
I assume the football is much quicker so more sprinting as opposed to fast runs. Distance wise, would it be much different?
Genuinely curious.

My presumption was correct thenTake 10-15% off those distances but about right! I'll be putting everything into my first game though, as much as both are important, the middle is more important to me.
I bet there's several 4s in my area with no game this weekend, baffling why they don't have a game and I have 2.
It's always been the case.
I do know however our referee appointments officer is understanding and most likely allow you to come off your middle.
You won't be coming off the line though, that's for certain, as that appointment will take precedent.
I suspect in @es1 case (and sorry to be presumptuous) he would prefer to do the middle, I know I would and situation as it is, is only going to be able to do that as is and do both of them.
Personally, I'd quite happily do both, I ran a 6 mile run Sunday after running 5 miles in a step 5 middle on the Sat so I am sure I could run a line post a middle the night before.
Ensure good hydration is the most important. Hopefully you do this anyway but if not start today. Accept the extra toilet trips if you have to.does anyone have any top tips to get me through both in one piece!?!

High carb meal on Thursday evening.
Have a protein shake ready to go and consume within 30 minutes immediately after your Friday game.
Warm up well AND a proper warm down. Stretches, foam roll and even a little extra light jogs. Ideally want to loosen up before going to bed, otherwise stiffness might set in overnight. If I've done a big run the worst thing I can do is then stop moving. If I keep moving throughout the day is staves off stiffness and DOMS, as its a night game you don't have this luxury. So little things like standing in the clubhouse with your post match water instead of sitting. And don't be eating the sausage and chips either okay maybe the chips, lightly salted
And don't forget to use the 'closed dates' function on MOAS, it's actually quite good!Cheers mate, all noted! I'm not going to be able to move Sunday
