You’re 8 weeks out from your opener.
If your whole squad still runs the same conditioning session, you’re burying your speed players in volume they don’t need and letting your engines cruise. Same whistle, completely different stimulus for a 20-man panel.
The 8-Week Soccer Speed & Conditioning Build fixes that.
Two field tests sort every player into Aerobic, Hybrid or Speed, and the capacity night splits by profile while the whole squad shares one short-to-long speed spine.
Reintegrate, build, develop, unload, peak, sharpen, taper; a fixed plan you follow as written.
Match week? The game replaces the conditioning night. It sits on top of your season, not against it.
Profile your squad. Run the block. Turn up to round one sharp, not shattered.

Most football squad conditioning is prescribed one way: pick an intensity, everyone runs it. “120% MAS, go.”
Here’s what that actually does.
Take three players off the same test — an aerobic engine, a balanced hybrid, a sprinter. Run all three at 120% MAS and they’re working at 32%, 23% and 15% of their own speed reserve.
A brutal session, a hard session, and a warm-up — from one whistle.
The fix isn’t more sessions. It’s normalising the intensity to each player’s reserve, so the effort is equal even when the distances aren’t. Same session, individualised.
If you don’t know your players’ speed reserve, you’re guessing at half of them.
Save this for your soccer pre-season — you’ll want it when you build the block.

Two numbers per player. One click to reshape the whole thing. 🎥
Here’s the part that actually saves your week:
Enter a 6-minute run and a short sprint for each player. The planner profiles every athlete, builds the block, and pods your squad into a handful of cones; speed, hybrid and aerobic all running the right distance.
Then watch this video👆
Change the season from pre-season to in-season. Drag the block from 8 weeks to 12. The entire plan rebuilds itself instantly. No rewriting. No starting over. One input, whole plan reflows.
That’s the difference between a template and a system. You could work the maths out yourself — you can’t rebuild this in an afternoon.
Built in Excel. Print it or run it off your phone pitch-side.
Launches tomorrow.
&C
Your fittest player and your fastest player need opposite conditioning.
This one’s for rugby.
Most plans give them the same session. Same distance. Same cones. And quietly train half the squad wrong.
A squad isn’t one engine — it’s a spread of them. The lad with the huge aerobic base and the flyer who’s all top-end speed should not be running the same intervals. But they almost always do, because individualising conditioning across 30 players is genuinely hard.
That’s the problem I got tired of watching. So I built the fix. Showing you this week. 👇
Save this if your pre-season plan treats everyone the same.

A first month I did with a squad a few years ago. We could only train Mon/Wed/Fri due to facilities so we had to be taking an undulated approach.
Week 1 Monday hard, Wed easy, fri moderate
Week 2 Monday easy….
facilities allowed gym after which was critical
This turned out to be a really solid base
There no 1 way to do it but principles matter more than methods

If you don’t know your speed reserve, you’re guessing. 🎯
Every athlete has a different balance of speed and engine. Train without knowing it and you’re pouring work into the quality you already have.
🔹 Coaches — generic conditioning costs you injuries and wasted weeks. Profile your squad so every player trains to the right number. Packages in bio.
🔹 Athletes — find out what kind of athlete you are in 15 seconds. Free. Link in bio.
Stop guessing. Start training to your profile.
Dual clubs have the toughest brief in the GAA: two championships, two run-ins, and shared players whose legs don’t know the difference.
Football piles on running volume. Hurling demands repeated high-speed efforts. Stack both on the one player with no plan and you don’t peak — you break.
The Dual Championship Run-In is built for exactly this: ▸ One 6-week system that accounts for both codes ▸
Profile-split conditioning so every player is loaded to their own ASR ▸
Match weeks handled across both panels — the game replaces the conditioning night ▸
Prehab every week, because dual players carry double the exposure
Stop choosing which code to short-change. Peak for both.

5 things coaches need to stop doing with their field conditioning. 🛑
Most conditioning problems aren’t effort problems — they’re design problems.
These five are the most common, and all five are fixable this week:
1️⃣ One pace for the whole squad
2️⃣ Long steady-state running for “fitness”
3️⃣ Conditioning with no top-end speed work
4️⃣ Relying on games alone to condition
5️⃣ Guessing instead of testing
Swipe for the fix on each — every one has an on-field alternative you can use straight away.
Save this for your next planning session. Send it to whoever runs your conditioning. 📌
