Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) - Suggested Weekly
Training Routine
Take
me back to the Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) - Training Information Home
page
PRESEASON WEEK TWO – GENERAL
PREPARATORY
The
aim of this week's training plan is to build further upon last week’s
training, but with a slight increase in training intensity, duration and
ultimately volume.
This is now to be achieved through predominantly Medium Intensity
training, with a progressive shift from non-weight bearing exercise to running.
Due
to the early stage of the plan, weekly training frequency remains at 3 aerobic
sessions.
However, if you feel the plan is i) moving too slow for you, ii) you have
not had a large amount of complete rest / detraining following the end of the
season, or iii) you have an early fitness test date, then I have added an extra
optional aerobic session on Thursday.
