Training... what do you do?

[slimref]

Are you a gym person? Do you go out running? are you annoyingly naturally fit and do feck all all week?

 

[coventryref]

just referee 5-6 games most weeks i think this enough training for me, but i do have a strict warmup rootine 3 or 4 fags before game and im ready for anything

 

[Reffariiii]

I try and have 3 running sessions an 1 gym session a week, aswell as 5 a side footy against teachers on a Friday night. That said, I don't always sucseed!

Guys i do no training normally but referee a lot up to 10 games a week hence the injury so wont be doing that again

6 weeks before the fitness test i start going down to the Track and practice the test building up week by week so that i am ready for the 2.5k in june

I find that works however i do run 10k occasionally 2 -3 times a year for charity that keeps me on track especially the Bupa 10k at the end of may 2 weeks before the FA Fitness test

How some of you can say you do very little or no training is beyond me. im training at least once every other day at 19 and i still feel unfit when im at a game. although xmas has taken its toll. honestly i've just installed a home gym to make sure i have no excuse as to not going as its only downstairs.

We get fit to referee, lads; we don't referee to get fit. That's imperative. I follow the Canadian Soccer Association's training plan.

Hindu squats daily. My daughter (1 year old) sits on my shoulders while I do them, making things harder. Who needs weights?

Any chance I could get a copy of that?

Under the heading 'fitness traning'. I've also just put together a one-month pre-season plan. It has been attached.

 

[Ryan Owens]
