I'm in a soccer team but my problem is, how can i run very fast for a very long time?

Question

I really need some tips. And also, if possible, can anyone give me some tips on how to keep the ball without letting your opponent get it off you all the time? thanks

Answer 1

you could ask a 200m or 400m sprinter . There's also whats called "suicide" interval training. Don't worry , you dont have to kill yourself, its just expressed like that because it's physically very demanding. Probably the toughest endurance excercise :
- draw 4 lines on the field (or track), the first two lines have ten meters (or yards) inbetween, the middle two 20 meters (try 15 if you like that better) inbetween and the last two also ten meters inbetween. So you have a total of 40 meters with a middle section of 20 meters.
1- Here's what you do: the first ten meters you "jog" or slight run it.
2- When you get to the middle section which is the 20 meter section you run as fast as you can.
3- When you arrive at the end 10 meter section you "jog" again (the whole ten meters) and turn around to start with point 1 again.

So the process is :
-jog ten meters
-sprint 20 meters
-jog ten meters
-turn around
-jog ten meters
-sprint 20 meters
-jog ten meters

.......and so on without standing still nor walking. Try it out about ten times with your companion(s)....

Answer 2

It has a lot to do with fitness. The whole point of soccer is basically running. Like who can run faster to the ball, who can dribble faster and score, or who can run longer and still have energy at the end of the game? Long legs and being thin doesn't mean anything. One of my teammates is short, but she can run fast and score any time. Another one is bigger, but she is strong and can get the ball every time.

Answer 3

Do short distance power runs. Rest for a minute in between laps.
That will dramatically improve your leg endurance and stamina.
To keep the ball, you need to build up your physical strength, and improve your close control. With physical strength, you'll be able to hold off your opponent and he'll find it very difficult to run you off the ball. .And if you are very comfortable on the ball, you won't need to look at it while in possession. Instead, you'll be able to keep an eye out for your teammates and opponents' movements.

Answer 4

To build endurance try interval training. There are several methods, but the most common involve some form of combining sprints and distance running.

Answer 5

Run around the pitch for half an hour then start playing you'll get used to it!

Answer 6

A good way to keep yourself from getting too puffed out is to put your hands on your head with your elbows up in the air and to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Trust me it works.

Answer 7

Practice running everday.
