I'm thinking about playing football this year, and I'm kinda tight for time. I do a bit of legs on Sunday, and was thinking of doing some 40, 80, 100 yard sprints. Is this a bad idea the day after legs? The pain should go away after a couple sprints, but I'm talking about letting the legs recover? or is sprinting not breaking the muscles down again?
thanks. |

Man I played college football and we would run all the time, also some sort of leg work 4 days a week (back squat, front squat, overhead squat, one leg squat, step ups, etc etc.) That running doesn't seem hard though.. that's more like conditioning. If you were doing heavy speed training I would say do it on a different day. This way it will just feel harder when you're doing it.

Thanks a lot. Wasn't sure if it was too much or not. It is mostly conditioning like you said.

i always slowed weigh down during season on my heavy leg workouts, i mean you need to do some kinda of legs during season but just be weary of overtraining. I wrestled and found it hard to do hard sprints/running after a long leg day so i would work to maintain,.
