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 THREE – GENERAL / SPECIFIC PREPARATORY

The aim of this weeks training plan is to build further upon last week's training, but with a slight increase in training intensity, duration and ultimately volume, therefore shifting the emphasis of the training towards the specific preparatory phase of the Pre-Season plan. This is to be achieved through a progression from Medium to High Intensity aerobic training. 

Due to the relatively 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 following the end of the season, or iii) you have an early fitness test date, then I have added an extra optional HI aerobic session on Wednesday.

% HRmax   Type of Training  Perceived Exertion

61 - 75%HRmax Low Intensity Easy to Comfortable
75 - 85%HRmax Medium Intensity Uncomfortable to Slightly Hard
