This will give you a four day taper into the Cooper Test (12 minute
run as far as you can). The pre-season conditioning program will keep
you fit and strong for the last four days and help you to get focused.
If you are training with a team or in groups, you can follow the Self
Coach Philosophy based on the US Womens National Team program,
for your personal development. Mix in the basic core from above with
these training formats for a more varied and enjoyable training regimen.
You must develop a training mentality to stay active six
days a week
( take one full day off a week where you literally do nothing ), on
days when you feel energetic, train twice - morning and evening - but
never train for longer than 1.5 hours in a row. Do NOT burn out!!
