Offseason training
What an offseason block actually looks like — an example of the structure used to build a running base, then sharpen it with intervals before preseason. Weeks are relative, not a live schedule.
The weekly rhythm
Mon
Easy run + strength (lower)
Tue
Agility warm-up + touches
Wed
Steady run + strides
Thu
Strength (upper) + core
Fri
Easy run + play
Sat
Long easy run
Sun
Rest
The block, week by week

Long run → ~40 min
Week 4
Baseline testTime trial + sprint ladder. Sets the numbers everything else is measured against.
3 mi
Weeks 5–6
Interval block 1Sprint ladders alternating with recovery and strength days.
2 mi target
Weeks 7–8
Interval block 2Distance intervals; pace targets tighten each cycle.
1–3 mi targets
Week 9
SharpeningBack-to-back quality days at goal pace.
Mile → sub-6
Week 10
Taper into preseasonEasy running and pickup games. No heavy legs.
Arrive fresh
Test / interval — treat it like a game day
Train
Recovery
Rest
Two rules hold the whole thing together: weekly running load climbs by no more than about 10%, and a test day is fuelled and respected like a match — not squeezed in between two hard sessions.
