It’s fun, it’s just also exposing how unfit I am lol. 30 minutes out there and 10 in goal made me so tired already, idk how the pros do 90.
And not just do 90, but frequently running 10km or more in bursts of full sprints. They really are incredible athletes.
In all fairness, they dedicate and train all their lives to do it, lol.
I would like to be able to jog for 10mins without tiring. I am unfit and I can push myself more than before, but I always pull up with a sore knee or I’ve pulled something in my thigh. It’s such a pain.
Oh absolutely, it’s just crazy to see how far we have pushed the limits of what the human body is capable of. Every now and then people joke about players being slow or unfit, but they’re still probably fitter than 95% of the population.
Unsolicited advice incoming, feel free to ignore it. Stretching (not just when you exercise, but right before and after bed) and a good quality pair of runners could work wonders if they’re not already things you have. Note - I don’t really practise what I preach, but the times in my life when I’ve had/done both my body has really thanked me. I just suck at consistency and I’m a stinge.
I don’t remember what I paid for them, but they’re pretty decent.
I should actually stretch more though. It’s not a habit I have built up yet, so it ends up being more of an after thought. My calves don’t get sore anymore, which is a nice change.
Funny you mention stretching before bed though, I think I tweaked the middle if my back getting into it xD
95%? Pro footballers are absolutely gonna be top 1% cmon.
