I have been coaching high school athletes for over 5 years now. I have never made my players run longer then 800 meters for conditioning. I have stuck with the interval training and conditioned my athletes on what they would be doing in competition. I think what alot of coaches also fail to look at when conditioning their team, is where their team is at physically and emotionally. In other words on a scale of 1-5, if your players are at a 5 and can't really move and you try to run them ragged, then the athletes are more likely to get hurt and could prolong their recovery even more. With in those 5 years, I have only had 2 serious injuries to broken bones. I have yet to have any real injuries suffered with any muscle groups. I have noticed that by the end of the season, my teams are still playing as hard as they were in the beginning of the season, which allows us to be in better shape then most of the teams we play. Thanks for the blog Jeff, you should really consider doing a coaching seminar on the proper way to weight train and condition an athletic team. Coach Turner,
