Soccer players typically run around 6-7 miles per match. It is important to build strength, speed endurance, and longer distance endurance as well. You should aim to do a strength circuit with weights and body weight at least 1-2 times a week, and a run workout 2-3 times a week as well. For more information on soccer specific training reach out to seasoned personal trainers Ariel and Elise!
