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.

% HRmax   Type of Training  Perceived Exertion
Below 60%HRmax  Recovery   Very Easy
61 - 75%HRmax Low Intensity Easy to Comfortable
75 - 85%HRmax Medium Intensity Uncomfortable to Slightly Hard
