play football every week day for about 1 and a half hours
i got 62/65 in BARB but i dont know wot TST is
and finally can i get A levals at AFC?
thanks nuffz
ok, i believe that if you want a levels, go to welbeck. AFC is like phase 1 training for younger people. a Technical selection test (TST) is the maths test you do at ADSC.
id suggest a session of swimming as well, just as an active rest. also, do some of your runs as fartlek. run hard for a bit, then slow and recover, and repeat, doing various lengths of hard runs. that will improve your speed. also, hill sprints instead of one session will do wonders.
at ADSC you will do a fair bit of sprinting (i found the team tasks ******* knackering, because we had to sprint a rugby pitch between each task, and of course, if somebody wasnt fast enough, we did it all again. and thats after the 1.5 mile)
the problem is, that i know lots of people who have done half or full marathons, who can run 20 plus miles easily, but if you said, do 1.5 miles in under 10 minutes they wouldnt be able to.
obviously you'll know how fast you are, but just bear in mind its a balance.
doing different types of exercise in a row is good. for example, i swim and then run 2 miles home. 2 miles is easy if thats all you do, but after a good hard swim will push you.
also, official advice is to have a rest day after every session, however id personally gradually increase your sessions so you can do exercise for a few days in a row.
hope that helps.
