worth sharing, especially as are head into the off-season. 👌
Fitness can drop quicker than you think when we take time off, but the good news is it comes back with consistency and the right approach.
The key is to ease back into training, build things up gradually, recover
🏐 The off-season is where the foundations are built.
Aerobic development can be done twice per week

🏐 Gaelic Games OFF-SEASON CONDITIONING 🏐
The off-season is a great opportunity to build the engine for next year! 💪
Here’s a simple pitch-based conditioning drill that can be incorporated into pre-season preparation.
🔹 Block 1: 45m hard run / 45m easy run
🔹 Block 2: 100m hard run / 100m easy run
🔹 Block 3: 65m hard run / 65m easy run
⏱️ Complete each block continuously for 4 minutes. Take 2 minutes rest between each 4 minutes and repeat a 2nd time
Coaching points:
✅ Hard runs at a strong, controlled pace.
✅ Easy runs used for active recovery.
✅ Focus on good running mechanics and consistency.
✅ Progress the volume and intensity gradually
🎯 The goal: Build aerobic fitness, improve recovery between high-intensity efforts and develop the physical foundation needed for the demands of Gaelic football and hurling.
Remember, the off-season isn't about doing more for the sake of it — it's about building smart, recovering well and arriving at pre-season ready to go.
