I was wondering if you could provide me with some tips on improving my overall fitness as a referee. I find that during training my jog speed (which I can run endlessly and still have a conversation at) is almost half the speed of everyone else – even people with a bit more ‘junk in the trunk’ than me. This correlates with other running speeds (3/4s and full sprint) which makes it harder for me to take part in the exercises at training as I feel like I’m constantly holding people back. The biggest problem I have is when I do push myself as hard as I can possible go (heart rate according to my fitbit is 160+) I can run for about 7 seconds and then can’t do anything else for a good 5 minutes. So I suppose, does anyone have any tips for improving the following:
- Speed Endurance
- How can I improve my ability to run at speed for longer?
- My jogging speed is 4mph… anything faster than this and I’m uncomforted and can’t run a mile (genuinely)
- Speed
- How can I improve my speed so that my sprint isn’t the 3/4s everyone else is doing?
- How can I improve my jogging?
